Kayza DeGraff-Ford
Kayza DeGraff-Ford (1992) is an emerging contemporary painter creating cinematically inspired portraiture, landscape and still-life. Rarely does an emerging artist demonstrate as much confidence and humour in engaging with the history of their medium as DeGraff-Ford. They produce images of race, gender, folklore and mysticism that they found lacking during their rural upbringing and art education. The results are vibrant compositions that playfully incorporate new narratives and new approaches into contemporary painting.
