1994 Lacourière printmaking prize
1990/91 Resident at The French Academy in Rome, Villa Médicis (Italy)

Born in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad, in 1959
French citizanship, lives and works in Montreuil and Paris, France

In 1984 after hesitating between the United States and England, Kenneth Alfred moved to France to pursue his art education and immerse himself in European culture.
He obtained a French government scholarship and enrolled at the Ecole National Supérieure des beaux-arts in Paris, National Academy of Fine Arts. He dedicated himself to painting, drawing and to print-making, his works are acquired as early as 1998 by The Albertina in Vienna and the Neue Galerie in Linz, Austria. In 1990 after graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts he was admitted to the French Academy in Rome and spent a year at the Villa Medicis.
In 1994 he wins the Lacourière printmaking prize. His works are acquired by The Museum for Drawing and Original Prints, Gravelines, France, the National Library, Paris, the National Fund for Contemporary Art, among other collections both public and private.
Added to his activity in drawing and painting, for more than ten years he has been investigating the potential of the association of new techniques of reproduction with traditional print-making techniques. This has lead to a questioning of the presentation as well as the surfaces used in printed works.
