NURTURE | CHANGCHUN , CHINA | 2008
Jallim Eudovic Artist , St . Lucia
“
I ’ m a true son of St . Lucian soil , born and raised on the island , however I ’ ve never considered myself an islander . I navigate the global space and my outlook has always been inclusive of , yet beyond my immediate environment . I find the idea that I can contribute to the global contemporary conversation through my art quite intriguing and that drives me .
I was brought up in an environment that encouraged limitless imagination and possibilities and that mindset has remained at my core . I picked up my first cheisel at the age of five and have been sculpting ever since . My father was a dominant force in my early development . He was an international artist at the pinnacle of his career and I mirrored his every step until I was able to grow my own legs and walk my own path .
My mother who has largely been an unsung part of my story was also and still remains very influential in my process . I ’ ve never had a collection that she has not offered counsel or assistance on . My siblings , three brothers and two sisters , who were all equally immersed in the arts , unwittingly provided me with fierce competition which was a vital part of my early development .
All in all I ’ m an up and coming artist , I ’ ve exhibited my work in all corners of the globe and have been an earnest contributor to the Chinese public art scene for the last 10 years .
