Hurvin Anderson\u2019s exhibition \u201cForeign Body<\/a>\u201d is at Michael Werner Gallery in New York through January 14. Anderson is a British painter of Jamaican descent: \u201cThe first time I went to Jamaica, I was fourteen,\u201d he told Sotheby\u2019s a few years ago. \u201cMy elder siblings all came from there and I got to know the island through them<\/a>. I wasn\u2019t born there, so I didn\u2019t actually fit in. I feel more British than Jamaican at times and vice versa. My painting is a dialogue between these two territories\u2014trying to get these two places to meet.<\/em><\/p>\n
