About the Item
Of all the Haitian Voodoo ceremony paintings, few depict the ceremony at sea. This is a rare example. Vodou ceremonies at sea often depict rituals for Agwe (sea spirit) or La Sirène (mermaid spirit), showcasing community, water spirits, and the journey between worlds.
Water Symbolism: Water represents the connection to the ancestral land of Ginen, the transatlantic slave journey, and the emergence of spirits. Yves Lafontant is a lesser-known name in Haitian art, but this is an exemplary example of the Voodoo nautical theme characterized by dancing fish, rummaging birds, and a mountain that looks like a dog. Signed and dated lower right. Frame size 21.75'' x 25.75'',
Yves Lafontant was born in Port-au-Prince in 1939. He is related to the legendary Rigaud Benoit through a family marriage. He attended Brooklyn College in 1969 to study Art and English. He is a primitive painter who celebrates the Haitian spirit.
