Ernst Prophete (Haitian/Cap-Haitien, b. 1950)

New hand stained solid wood floater frame.
Lot Essay:
Overtaken by the "Demons of Mid-day", lovers seek privacy behind trees and shrubbery.
After earning an electronics degree, Ernst Prophete, living in Port-au-Prince, formally started painting in 1972. Although untrained, Prophete had grown up in the same Cap-Haitien neighborhood as the Obin family. He admires thematic art, and wants his paintings to tell dynamic stories that have not been told, stories that engage with spirituality, industry, politics and democracy. His intention is to create a body of work that presents and preserves a significant historical record.
