Opening Reception
DVCAI at Barry University presents Riddims of Graffiti, a solo exhibition featuring Izia Lindsay, MFA, Assistant Professor of Art at Augustana University. The exhibition opens May 14, 2026 and runs through August 22, 2026.
Lindsay is a mixed media artist working across digital and traditional processes. His work draws on Caribbean iconography—rooted in tradition and reimagined through contemporary ideas—to create layered visual narratives that reflect on identity and class in a post-colonial society.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Izia Lindsay is a mixed media artist who works across digital and traditional media to create bold, multi-layered visual stories. Grounded in Caribbean iconography and shaped by contemporary ideas, his work explores identity and class in a post-colonial society—drawing from material culture, indigenous histories, lived traditions, and the ever-changing landscape of the Caribbean.
Known for geometric forms and dynamic compositions, Lindsay builds what he describes as a kind of “controlled naturalism,” where lines and shapes intersect, overlap, and hold multiple meanings at once. The result is a cultural narrative that reflects the dualities of a turbulent, cosmopolitan Caribbean life.
