Genesis Tramaine

Brother Abinadab

2020

Brother Abinadab is a visceral and spiritually charged work by Genesis Tramaine, rendered in oilstick and oil pastel on canvas. Tramaine's signature bold, expressive mark-making conjures a figure alive with sacred energy, the layered colors and gestural strokes evoking both the rawness of human form and the transcendence of divine presence. The inclusion of "holy spirit" as a listed medium speaks to Tramaine's deeply devotional practice, in which faith itself is considered an active and essential material in the creation of each work.
