About the Item
This piece titled "Christian (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.
For his debut showing at Paradigm, Alain Jean-Baptiste dives deep into his memory, happily growing up in Haiti until everything changed when a 7.0 magnitude earthquake destroyed his family’s home and immobilized the country’s economic growth. This led to his family fleeing to the United States with only fragments of the life they lived on the island to cling to. In the United States, they felt a cultural shock relearning societal norms while reestablishing a new life in a new place.
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.

"Surrounded By Fuzzy Friends", Human Figure, Bedroom, Stuffed animals, games
Located in Philadelphia, PA
"Surrounded By Fuzzy Friends" is a piece by Akira Gordon made from acrylic and oil on canvas. This piece measures 48"h x 60"w unframed.
Akira hopes to give black people images that they can relate to in some way without making an overt political statement; instead, showing figures in leisure, doing the mundane and the ordinary. She finds the most authentic way to do this is through self-portraiture and referencing her experiences. She uses herself as a reference for her paintings because she believes examining your own life is important.
Her artworks delve into the complex emotions associated with her struggle to transition into adulthood while clinging to the familiarity of "childish" things. It's an introspective journey, an attempt to reconcile the inevitability of growing up with the desire to preserve the youthful spirit that continues to reside within her.
Akira Gordon, a Philadelphia-born painter and recent graduate of the University of the Arts, is a captivating artist driven by a passion for contemporary art and self-portraiture. Inspired by Kerry James Marshall and Sasha Gordon...
