Widow’s Grief “Pauline Lumumba, Mixed Media on Canvas, 2026, 4X5FT
Leanne, Artis (born 1998) is a visual artist from Kingston, Jamaica. She graduated from the Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts in 2019 with a Bachelor of Fine Art. Her work explores the visual language of painting, collage, and textiles. Vibrant color palettes and playful repetition of form contrast with the confronting stares of her subjects. Historical and cultural references drawn from Africa and the wider diaspora are central to her practice. Leanne challenges viewers to look beneath the surface, uncovering layered meanings that point toward the past while inspiring the future. Themes of Black poverty, power, politics, pride, parenthood, problems, and progress recur throughout her work.
