Peace y’all! This episodes guest artist for Kreative Kompany is Anisely Burrows.
Ainsley Burrows (b. 1974 in Kingston, Jamaica; based in Baltimore, MD) is a full-time multidisciplinary artist who explores untold stories and unspoken emotions. Raised in Brooklyn, NY, Burrows' creative pursuits as a poet, musician, performer, and painter deeply influence one another. Emerging as a prolific abstract artist, Burrows has developed three unique methodologies: NeoChaos, Raktism, and String Theory. Preferring to paint on large canvases, with his longest work to date measuring 276 inches, Burrows uses NeoChaos to create expressive gestures, lines, and vibrant swathes of color, adding a distinct voice to the abstract expressionist canon. In 2024, Burrows was awarded the JJC Residency, a collaborative program between the Joshua Johnson Council (JJC), Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA), and Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA).
In this episode we visit Anisely in his studio space/home to discuss the trials, tribulations and triumphs with being such a profound artist/creative and how he has nurtured his mental wellness throughout the process.
