Artists focussed on money � Gare

Gare is one of the first artists to work at Thapong Visual Centre when Veryan Edward opened it in the 90s.

“Local artists are focussed much on airport art. This is artwork that one does fast so that they can just get money real quick. They have forgotten the values of art, which is making abstract and contemporary work that sends a message to the society. We have political, social and economic issues that are affecting us which they should be addressing through art,” Gare said.
