Multidisciplinary artist and curator Edouard Duval-Carrié is widely known for incorporating elements of Haitian Voodoo, mythology, historical figures, and iconography in his surreal mixed-media paintings.
Among other contemplations, his works ask the viewer to consider how Africa and the Caribbean have shaped the modern world. Works by Edouard Duval-Carrié will be on view at the Hammonds House Gallery from July 14-October 1.
In this interview, “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes speaks with the artist about the exhibit and Haitian history and culture.
“As they say in Haiti, ‘We are 200 or 300 nations, and what they mean by that is we came from everywhere in Africa,” Duval-Carrié says.
Artist Edouard Duval-Carrié’s exhibition is on view at Hammond’s House through October 1. More information is available here.
