on-line catalogue of these wonderful paintings.
These exhibiting artists, working mainly in the medium
of oil on panel, invoke a strong
sense of national identity and spirituality in their colorful figurative
work.
Their unique paintings often depict the Haitian
countryside and portray
the beliefs, practices and rituals of the complex and often misunderstood
Voodoo
religion.
The proceeds from sales of Haitian paintings go to the artists
in Haiti.
Local Baltimore writer, Madison Smartt Bell, travels to Haiti regularly
to
visit the artists and to arrange their representation at the Antreasian Gallery.
