“St. Thomas based artist W.B. Thompson’s breakout collection of works on view at 81C rings in the New Year with a celebration of multidisciplinary mediums. Thompson, an accomplished career artist represented throughout the Virgin Islands, Texas, and Florida, and arguably one of the most collected artists in the USVI - has delivered Sacré Bleu - Resolution Twenty Five. The exhibition features cutout assemblage panelworks and paintings, with select diptychs and triptychs standing over 6’ feet high - Thompson has delivered more than just his signature tropical-folk-charisma, navigating us through historic town scenes, profound three dimensional portraits, musical celebrations, and the joys and mystery of nature. The show is an immersive experience of bold colors and rich contexts. Significantly and memorably, this exhibition is scaled for a spectacular visual adventure.”
