Kerwin G. Ebanks began his art career in 2010 after returning home with a degree in Art Education and recognizing the importance of modeling creative pursuits for his high school students. Through collaborations with other artists, numerous exhibitions, and work with institutions such as the National Gallery, he has become a well-established figure in the local arts community.
Over the past decade and a half, his practice has expanded to include painting, mixed media, sculpture, and the use of found objects, reflecting his growing commitment to using art as a form of activism. Since 2018, Ebanks has worked almost exclusively with items of trash collected from Cayman’s shores. By transforming discarded materials into artworks, he highlights the importance of responsible stewardship of natural resources. Ebanks’ media and techniques include intricate mosaics made from reclaimed plastic tesserae, along with reliefs, woodwork, assemblage, found objects, and installations.
