Kriston Banfield

Kriston Banfield is a multidisciplinary artist from Trinidad and Tobago whose practice centers on ideas of community, belonging, and transformation. Drawing on myth, spirituality, and West African storytelling traditions, his work interrogates how social and economic disparities shape human experience and access to opportunity. Working across painting, drawing, sculpture, and installation, Banfield constructs narratives that explore displacement, healing, and identity within a Caribbean context. He has exhibited collaboratively in Trinidad and Tobago and participated in international exhibitions including the 5th Ghetto Biennale in Port-au-Prince, Haiti (2017) and the 19th Asian Art Biennale in Bangladesh. Kriston Banfield currently lives and works in New York.
