Ezra Myers

Ezra’s work often alludes to social misconceptions of cultural practices, with psychological underpinnings. He makes conscious efforts to depict the cultural values and practices of his Caribbean heritage, which reflect his experiences and desire to gain a deeper insight into his own identity.

Throughout his youth, Ezra always had heavy involvement in Steel Pans and Notting Hill carnival in London. This has enabled him to draw upon both authentic Caribbean experiences as well as his experiences of merged Caribbean and British cultures. As part of his approach, he reflects on historic events, people and music to draw parallels between processes and a range of societal outcomes. This contributes to an expression of his human experience and consequently opens up a ‘grey area’ for greater understanding of differential perception across different classes and cultures around the world.
