Uniformly repeating, Kenya pairs iconic American foods with his favorite Reggae artists. Cheeseburgers, french fries, hotdogs, pretzels, doughnuts and red velvet cakes fill the frame of Kenya’s drawings. In between the mouth-watering food, you will find the faces of Bunny Wailer, Peter Tosh, Burning Spear, Bob Marley and Desmond Dekker.
Born in 1975, Kenya was raised in a West Indian home in Brooklyn where food and music played a big role in his daily life. In 2005, Kenya became a member of LAND, an art studio and gallery for adults with intellectual disabilities located in Dumbo, Brooklyn. A self-proclaimed “art school gangster,” Kenya hangs out five days a week in the LAND studio happily drawing food and music, the things he loves.
