“Beachcomber” — 2022
Lucas B. Kaighin, a Bahamian abstract painter from Marsh Harbour, creates works that explore depth through the bold use of color and strategically placed semi-precious stones. For Lucas, painting is not a choice but a necessity:
“I can’t NOT paint. My paintings speak to the Joy of Life and the harsh Truth of Despair.” – Lucas B. Kaighin
Inspired by the emotional power of color, Lucas blends the abstract into the very existence of the painting itself. His work is not driven by a clear message but by raw instinct—an outlet where brush meets canvas and movement becomes expression.
Beachcomber is a vivid example of Lucas’s approach, rendered in oil on canvas and set with semi-precious garnet and mother of pearl. The piece invites the viewer to feel both the vibrancy of island life and the undertones of its deeper truths, capturing the essence of his artistic vision.
