—Artist Statement &#38;amp; Biography


“I don’t only focus on jazz
musicians. I also paint my family or iconic personalities such as Félix
Trinidad, Sister Gertrude Morgan, Amadou Diallo and The Notorious B.I.G. who in
one rendition is carrying the cross with Etta James as an angel. In a painting
collage of Biggie, I placed a Tropicana Juice packaging where a handkerchief
would be. With the jazz musicians I’d do the same; I collage cereal and cracker
boxes to the subject matter. This reflects my belief that music is fortifying.”&#38;nbsp;
—Armando Alleyne, 2019

Armando Alleyne’s painted and
collaged renditions of jazz musicians, Afro-Latin singers, boxers, but also
family members and friends have a rhythm all-their-own. Parallel to his
practice of painting portraits of Black icons, he allows elements of his lived
experience to take form in his work. Never shying away from the seminal, the
sensual or the political, Alleyne’s lifetime of paintings tell a story of how
we are subject to our city and how in it we can search for the tools to heal. Armando Alleyne (b. 1959, New York) grew up in Lower Manhattan and graduated from The City College of
New York with a B.A. in Education and Fine Arts, in 1983. He
lives and works in Brooklyn.
—Exhibitions Alleyne’s work has most recently been shown in an exhibition titled “Unique Voices, Portraits of Jazz Icons,” curated by the artist Garwin Gaari at GAARI.art Gallery in Eindhoven, Netherlands, in February 2026. In 2025, Alleyne was included in the group exhibition “RicanVisions: Global Ancestralities and Embodied Futures” curated by Ana-Hilda Figueroa de Jesús, Andrea Sofia Matos &#38;amp; Xavier Robles Armas at The Latinx Project at New York University. Other recent solo exhibitions were held at Carracci Art in New York: the 2023 show “Moments of Admiration,” curated by Clarence Johns and “Body and Soul,” curated by Nicole Mouriño and Clarence Johns. Alleyne was also included in “Refuge,” an online group show curated by Nicole Mouriño for 440 Gallery in the summer of 2020. Throughout the decades, his work has been shown at Sage Center Harlem, Gallery M, Chi Chiz, the Bronx River Gallery, Clover's Fine Art
Gallery, Metropolitan Community Church, Sarah Lawrence College, the Jazz
Gallery and Black Lawyers Association, among others. 
– PublicationsAlleyne’s first artist’s book, A Few of My Favorites, was published by Edition Patrick Frey, in 2021. In 2023, Alleyne’s art and poetry were included in&#38;nbsp;When Language Broke Open: An Anthology of Queer &#38;amp; Trans Black Writers of Latin American Descent, edited by Alan Pelaez Lopez, a 2022-2023 Miriam Jiménez Román Fellow.&#38;nbsp;The volume centers on the writing, visual, and graphic art of 44 contemporary writers across Latin America, the Caribbean, and their diasporas. Alleyne has illustrated numerous
publications including Blackheart 2: The
Prison Issue—A Journal of Writing and Graphics by Black Gay Men (1984), Black Music, Black Poetry: Blues and Jazz's
Impact on African American Versification (Gordon E. Thompson, 2014), Kwanzaa in the Gay and Lesbian Family (Imani
