Medium: Acrylic on Masonboard
Description:
The trance state of a young Mambo sharing her spirit with sisters and animals. Intensely creative work with hand painted frame. Gerard was born near where he spent the rest of his life, in Montagne Noire, above Petionville, Haiti. The date of his birth is in dispute. One biography lists it at 1933, another firmly at May 2nd, 1925, and his obituary by Le Centre dArt lists it at 1924. He told me he did not know when he was born. He worked as a pastry chef at a hotel, before beginning to paint in 1978. Gerard’s work has been exhibited internationally, is included in the permanent collections of Ramapo College, New Jersey and the Waterloo Museum of Art in Iowa, and is published in Where Art is Joy (Rodman, 1988), Dialogue du Réel et de L’imaginaire (1990), and Island on Fire (Demme, 1997), and the recent monograph, Gerard Fortuné G.Scott Collection
