Description:
The native people of Haiti were the Arawak Indians, here two powerful spirits approach the viewer. Jorelus Joseph (1939 -2009)was born on December 8, 1939 in Leogane, Haiti. His father was a farmer and his mother was a hairdresser. He lived in the countryside until he finished primary school, then he moved to Petionville to learn to be a pastry chef. He claims to be able to make a wonderful cake. During this time he had a second job as a packer at the Centre dArt.He did not paint his first painting until age 43. His source of inspiration is Vodou. He is a practitioner and attends ceremonies on a regular basis, but is not an initiate, claiming that it would require him to devote all of his time to the religion. He was awarded a gold medal in October 1996 from the 3rd Bienal of Caribbean and Central American Artists at the Museum of Modern Art of the Dominican Republic in Santo Domingo.
