Introducing Cayman Artist Luelan Bodden

Cayman artist Luelan Bodden has earned himself a reputation for his striking and often controversial choice of subject matter, but there is no doubt that he is one of Cayman’s finest talents.
Producing fine art and sculptures covering an eclectic variety of themes, his work is visually stunning and has certainly placed Mr Bodden on the fringe, or, depending on your viewpoint, the cutting edge, of Caymanian art. Not one to shy away from topics often deemed “avant guard” such as sexuality, he is equally at home producing detailed sculptures of a more neutral nature such as his Blue Iguana project for the less sensitive of his viewers. Luelan has the true spirit of an artist, with a devil may care attitude when it comes to his work, believing strongly that art should evoke a reaction, an emotional response, in the viewer, and his audience are rarely disappointed on that score.
In this video, Luelan takes us on a quick tour of his own workshop and gallery and talks about several of his pieces, and the inspiration behind them. If you are unfamiliar with his work, this provides a great cross section of his talent and a nice personal commentary by the artist.
With the new gallery only a few weeks away from opening its doors to the public, Arteccentrix hopes to bring some of Mr Bodden’s finest work to visitors in the months ahead, although what he will allow us to show will probably remain a mystery to us until this elusive talent feels he has something to exhibit. Whatever it might be, you can be sure it will be worth seeing.
Please feel free to leave your comments and feedback below – we hope you enjoy meeting Luelan Bodden.
Cayman Art Entered In Silent Charity Auction
At a recent casino night charity event organized by the Rotary Club Of Grand Cayman Sunrise in aid of the disabled we are pleased to have been able to donate one of Nickola McCoy-Snell’s original paintings to aid the fundraising efforts.
Pictured here is the artwork entitled “Heavenly Heliconia” which was entered into a silent auction on the night.
Unfortunately we cannot confirm how much the Painting raised, nor who the winning bidder was on the night.
We do know however that all the money raised is going to a very worthy cause and the Rotary Club of Grand Cayman Sunrise tell us that the event raised in the region of CI$35,000 which is a tremendous result. We offer our congratulations to all concerned in making the night such a success.
Cayman Artist John Broad Joins With Arteccentrix
We are pleased to announce that Cayman artist John Broad has agreed to work with us and you can now find a selection of his wonderful art on the site. We hope to expand the availability of John’s work in the near future and will hopefully be adding some of his original works too.
John has worked as an artist for most of his life and his work has become highly collectible, so the chance to own a high quality giclee of his artwork is an exciting development. John’s work epitomizes life in the Caribbean and in the Cayman Islands using bright and bold colors and movement.
Here you can view some of John’s artwork that we currently have available as prints in a full range of sizes and formats. Please check our giclee price listings for all sizes.
You can view prints of all our participating artists via the links in the right hand menu.
If you live on the island, remember that we will deliver your order free of charge and if you are overseas, we can ship anywhere in the world. We hope you enjoy the art of John Broad and that you will check back often for updates to his gallery of prints and originals. For all enquiries including commissioned pieces please use our contact form and let us know your requirements.
