Alain Jean-Baptiste
"Xavier (Brother)" Hyperrealistic Young Man in Botanical Setting

2023

About the Item

This piece titled "Xavier (Brother)" is an original artwork by Alain Jean-Baptiste and measures 60"h x 48"w. This oil work on canvas reflects on the buildup and aftermath Jean-Baptiste's family faced after a major natural disaster tore through their home in Haiti. Alain Jean-Baptiste is a Haitian-American artist whose work explores memory, identity, and the narratives of his homeland. Born in Boston and raised in Haiti, he lived there until the devastating 2010 earthquake uprooted his family, leaving an enduring impact on his life and art. Painting became his refuge—a way to process the chaos and loss that followed. While always drawn to art, Alain began pursuing painting seriously in 2017. Primarily working in oil on canvas, he continually experiments with new mediums and techniques. His paintings challenge the distorted narratives often associated with Haiti, offering an intimate and authentic reflection of its culture, values, and people. Through his work, Alain seeks to reclaim and share Haiti’s stories on his own terms.

Umi III
By Robert Marchessault
Located in Montreal, Quebec
My painting is an inquiry. I make images as a way of responding to experiences that are important to me. Experiences that help me to understand why I’m in this world often happens when I am outside in large open spaces. Painted images act as a tool. I respond to the spaces my art suggests. That response is usually non-verbal. I am interested in the experience of non-duality that “getting lost” in big spaces can sometimes produce for me. The paintings have gone through a range of artistic treatments with the recent years seeing a focus on space, light, textures, atmosphere and distance. My landscape paintings are made from memory, not from on-site drawings or photographs. I use memory as a filtering agent to remove non-essential visual elements. When a work is successful, it must have a sense of poetry. There is nothing “new...
