Rooted in her 1980s New York City upbringing and strong spirituality, Tramaine imbues her abstract portraits of men and women with a transcendent emotion, devotion, and soundless musicality, borne from rhythmic brushstrokes and a visceral use of chromatic color. In her gestural style, she seeks, at once, to represent and universalize the humanness of the American Black face by obscuring the specificity of individual features, choosing instead to portray the inner turmoil and inner joy of one's mind and being.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book presents over 125 vibrant, full-color images of the artist's dynamic and enthralling portrait paintings, which are an inextricable homage to her deep faith, sense of self, and her Sunday mornings at church. Bound in a rich and tactile faux-leather indigo case intended to evoke a modern Bible, \u003ci\u003eGimme Some Sugar \u003c\/i\u003ealso features a mini-sketchbook insert whose pages reveal the raw, instinctive line drawing studies for Tramaine's large-scale masterwork paintings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGenesis Tramaine\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Brooklyn, New York, and earned her MS from Pace University and BS from Utica College of Syracuse University.
