Edouard Duval-Carrié

Edouard Duval-Carrié (born 1954, in Port-au-Prince, Haiti) is a Haitian-American artist whose multidisciplinary practice explores Haitian history, Vodou spirituality, migration, colonialism, and the layered cultural memory of the Caribbean diaspora. Working across painting, sculpture, mixed media, and installation, Duval-Carrié examines political history, myth, and identity through luminous surfaces, dense symbolism, and visual languages drawn from Haitian iconography, religious imagery, and historical narrative.  Duval-Carrié studied at Loyola College in Montréal and later at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Born and raised in Haiti, he left the country during the Duvalier era and later lived in Puerto Rico, Canada, France, and the United States, experiences that continue to shape his attention to exile, displacement, and creolized identity. His work often engages Vodou, revolution, migration, and the afterlives of colonial violence, using resin, glittering surfaces, painting, sculptural relief, and layered mixed-media compositions to consider how history, spirituality, and imagination intersect within Haitian and diasporic life.  His work has been exhibited at Pérez Art Museum Miami, the Fowler Museum, the Bass Museum, Brown University, and major galleries including Pan American Art Projects, and it is held in collections including the Pérez Art Museum Miami, the National Gallery of Art, the Frost Art Museum, the Lowe Art Museum, and the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Monterrey. He lives and works in Miami, Florida, where he is also active as a curator and cultural leader.
