We LOVE Al Pachino Wallace's work, which defies genres in its versatility and dexterity: from realism exhibited in this article, to surrealism, where he could be likened to Dali meeting Escher, though his style is so completely his own.

Download our app to find locations in Nassau where Al's public murals can be viewed.

It’s the ultimate compliment when the person you’ve done a portrait of acknowledges you.

We are so in awe of Bahamian Art & Culture's magazine. This edition presents an embarrassment of riches and we were hard pressed to limit our favorites to the normal triptych!

The theme of our picks this week is taken from the section of Triptych Travel Guide to Nassau and Paradise Island entitled "Escape Fantasy" where we explore the fantasy vacation within your vacation to Nassau and Paradise.

Our Triptych:
1. We are heads over heels about the cover work by Bahamian artist Dede Brown, whose work in textiles we imagine turns a tactile sea fan into an afro head in a graphic and iconic representation of a modern day island mermaid.
2. Nikita Shiel Rolle is featured at the Natural History Museum in London in the exhibition "Coral Reefs: Secret Cities of the Sea". We dare you to experience the ultimate Escape Fantasy: the breathtaking beauty of our reefs; with a scuba dive, or by simply leafing through Shiel Rolle's stunning book collaboration on Bahamian marine life "Islands of the Sun: A Tribute to the Northern Exuma Cay".
3. "Lucayan Evolution", by Bahamian artist Edrin Christopher Symonette, is an intellectual journey into an alternate future: "a hypothetical reality in which Lucayans have evolved and flourished in a modern day Bahamas, absent of Christopher Columbus": the Bahamas' very first {documented} tourist.

Bravo Bahamian Art & Culture! Thanks for giving our visitors the ultimate Escape Fantasy: a trip into Bahamian ingenuity.

Read: “Escape: The Heyday of Caribbean Glamour” by Hermes Mallea (Rizzoli, $60),

“Escape” tracks the rise and spread of beachy paradises from the “twilight of the Gilded Age to the height of the Reagan era,” from the Bahamas to Key West, from Jamaica to Mustique, alighting in each spot “at that ephemeral moment when the world’s most fashionable people” had made it “the tropical resort of the moment.”

In the 1930s, it was Bimini (Hemingway sailed there to sport-fish with American friends, whom he would later fictionalize in his novel “Islands in the Stream”). In 1940, the arrival of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor in the Bahamas, where they lived for five years, playing a lot of cards, turned Nassau into the place to be..."
