OPEN HOUR

EDUOARD DUVAL-CARRIÉ – OPEN STUDIO

Edouard’s Studio, 225 NE 59th St, Miami | Transportation Options

From 11am – 12pm participants are invited to visit the studio of Haitian-born, Miami-based artist, Edouard Duval-Carrié. You will have the opportunity to experience Duval-Carrié’s large-scale paintings and sculptures in which the real and the imaged combine to create haunting and beautiful compositions. The artist will also be leading an artist talk in his studio from 10am – 11am which will require registration.

Edouard Duval-Carrié’s work explores the social and historical aspects of Haitian culture. His imagery includes very often Voodoo gods combined with aspects of classical mythology and Haiti’s national heroes, the typical fusion that characterizes the Caribbean. His images are visual examples of Magic Realism, portraying a world in which reality and mythology come hand in hand. In 2014 he had a major retrospective at Perez Art Miami Museum (PAMM). His works are part of the collections of many museums and institutions such as The Detroit Institute of Arts, Detroit, Michigan; Musée des Arts Africains et Océaniens, Paris France; Davenport Museum of Art, Davenport, Iowa; Perez Art Museum Miami, Miami, Florida; Musee de Pantheon National Haitien, Port-au-Prince, Haiti; and the Museo de Arte Contemporaneo de Monterrey (MARCO), Monterrey, Mexico; among others. Duval-Carrié was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, moved to Miami in 1992, and established himself as an integral factor in the city’s cultural fabric.
