Vision Blue
The public’s perception of voodoo rites and rituals seems often to point to the evil or malicious side of things. There are healing spells, nature spells, love spells, purification spells, joyous celebration spells.

Spirits may be invoked to bring harmony and peace, birth and rebirth, increased abundance of luck, material happiness, renewed health.The fact is, for those who believe it, voodoo is powerful. It is also empowering.

Burton Chenet is a steady and conscientious worker, an artist to whom painting means permanent inquiry.

Unlike the Haitian naive painters who inspired him, he does not approach his subjects as a believer but rather as an aesthete. He knows no duality: he advances quietly, to explore the immense resources and artistic wealth of his native land. His work attracts, intrigues and raises thoughts and interrogations, while expecting the visitors to find for themselves the keys to open the doors of his artistic universe

His paintings are, above all, a look on his artistic environment, on certain painters who have made a mark on their time and increasingly influenced the young modern painters.

Burton Chenet is the product of two cultures. He studied Fine Arts in the United States and now lives in Haiti. His aesthetic curiosity has kept him in touch with the different schools in the country and has led him to reflect upon their many similarities and differences, mainly differences due to the very rich contribution of so many cultures.

Apparition
Zephirin´s work is characterized by intense colors, intricate patterns and tightly surrounded compositions.

Extremely productive, his imagination is compelling and his social criticism is disturbing. Presently Zephirin´s work is recognizable by human figures with animal heads--representing his deep contempt for the commanding body.

Marassa
A founding member of the Saint-Soleil group of artists, championed by Andre Malraux.

The Saint Soleil School uses linear patterning and symbolism reflecting practices of Vodou.

Dieuseul Paul, was one of the original members of the Saint Soleil movement which gained international recognition in 1975 when the French cultural icon Andre Malraux visited the community. It is said that Malraux was seated in a chair on a grassy knoll while the artists of Saint Soleil ascended the slope, encircling him, each holding a piece of their art. M. Malraux was blown away by the scene and immortalized the movement by featuring Saint Soleil prominently in his last book, L´Intemporel.

Welcome
Saint Soleil was located in the mountains above LaBoule, at Soisson-La- Montagne. It provided the means and encouragement for not only painters, but also poets, writers, craftspeople, singers, dancers, sculptors and musicians.

The movement received international attention after the visit in 1975 of Andre Malraux, who was so impressed with the place that he devoted a chapter in his last book, L´Intemporel, to Saint Soleil. Exil is also one of the five members of Cinq Soleil, the group of artists that reformed in the late 1980's.
