Jheni Arboine is an educational developer and a contemporary fine artist whose practice as an abstract geometric painter, concrete poet and photographer; enables her to synthesize her experiences as a city dweller, where she interrogates the semiotic signs of the environment, coded colour systems and hidden herstories and histories. She takes an oppositional approach to abstraction, for her the language of abstraction it is not empty of meaning, it acts as a living archive, where theory, code, sign and crispy criticality mingle and coalesce. Where decolonisation, cultural politics, social justice and anti-racism are entangled in this site of enquiry where painting and poetics are a repository for prayers, semiotics signs, coded narratives and urban diasporic encounters. Where painting is a site of calligraphic gestures and geometric forms where abstraction collides, resides and co-exists. She describes herself as resilient, emanating from pedagogy of Jamaican-ness that is Talawah.
