Medium:
Acrylic on Canvas
Description:
Mermaids swim in perfect symmetry under a Caribbean sea. Paintings by Henry convey emotion and energy. Henry Pelissier exploded onto the Haitian art scene in the early 1990s with a depiction of Haiti that no other artist has been able to capture. His use of vibrant color combinations and the fluidity and subtle tones of his brush strokes allows us to bear witness to a life that the artist understands all too well. Henry gives depth of eyes with his use of shadows and light, flavor to fruit through rich colors and textures, and has an ability to show the human spirit with the tilt of the head of a market vendor, a slight smile of a mother with her child. A self-taught artist, Henry is a raw talent fueled by a passion to paint. He patiently studied every art book he could find to discover the mystery of color, tones, shadows, shapes, lighting and textures. He experimented with watercolors,gouache, markers, charcoal , oil and acrylics. day after day, night after night, Henry laboriously sketched his wife, Martine, using her as the model for his many portraits, and paintings. He did considerable research on the Haitian pictorial heritage , his works range from the pastoral beauty of the Haitian countryside to the colorful marketplace, from an innovative painting of angels,mermaids, to the joyful dance of graceful young dancers to the mysteries of an imaginary world. His keen eye captures the simplicity of daily life which he translates into moments of joy.
