"Haitian Artwork by Artist Josephat Tissaint"Josephat Tissaint was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, around 1965. He worked with the famous painter Prefete Duffaut for many years, painting in a similar style as Duffaut, often depicting imaginary cities and landscapes. Tissaint’s dreamscapes use bright, bold colors to combine both his imagination of what the world could look like, as well as observable aspects of the Haitian landscape, often featuring mountains and oceans. He later focused on jungle scenes and began developing his own unique style. His stylized “Madonnas”are similar to, and no doubt inspired by, the chromolithograph images that were often used in antique vodou flags depicting the Ioa Erzulie. This oil on canvas measures approximately 20.5 x 24.75 inches.
