Tethered between the Antilles and the Five Boroughs, Kemar Wynter leans on the culinary hybridity born from being of these two spaces to find his home amongst the cuisine. The velvety surface and sinuous marks of Kemar's oil pastel-based paperworks are building blocks to a visual patois with which he articulates the sensorial experiences associated with cookery.

Each portion in Kemar's studio archives a meal integral to home, be it the uproarious Friday night dinners of his youth on Carroll Street or afterschool trips to the chicken spot on Crown and Utica in Brooklyn. His work has been featured in Hyperallergic, The Brooklyn Rail, Artforum, Cultured Magazine, and Galerie Magazine, and shown through residencies at ARoS Kunstmuseum in Denmark and Art Quarter Budapest. He was profiled in Sotheby's "The Cultural Traditions Inspiring Four Black Artists" (Feb 2025), presented in partnership with Good Black Art.
