Eugene Olive Palmer (born 1955) is a Jamaican-born British artist.[1] His work uses archival records, photographs, and contemporary media imagery as basis for his paintings. Palmer has had a long association with art curators and exhibitors Eddie Chambers and Keith Piper and is recognised as one of the leading Black artists working in Britain. He currently lives and works in London.
Eugene Olive Palmer was born in Kingston, Jamaica, and came to England as a child with his parents in 1966.[2][3] Growing up, he was influenced by two different cultures and it is the memories of these and influences from them that have shaped his artistic career.
Starting with colourful and bright abstract paintings of the early to mid-1980s, Palmer began exploring a variety of different areas of painting as his career progressed. Common themes in his work are explorations of cultural history and cultural identity.
His early career encompassed exhibiting at such venues as Bedford Gill Gallery, 198 Gallery, and the Duncan Campbell Gallery, and group exhibitions included the New Contemporaries, Caribbean Expressions in Britain in the mid-1980s and Black Art: Plotting the Course.[2]
