Seresier Louise-Juste Haitian Steel Sculpture C. 1970's

About the Item

Recycled steel oil drum in folk art style. Meaning, Seresier would find oil drums that would have washed up on the beach in Haiti and pounded flat and then cut out these figures. They feature themes of Haitian Mythology. An incredible piece of artwork. Signature etched on bottom. Can be hung or has ability to stand up on flat surface. Biography The Louisjuste brothers -Seresier, Janvier, and Joseph,- were born in Croix-des-Bouquets, Haiti. They learned the art-form from the originator of Haitian metals, Georges Liautaud, and were instrumental in passing it on to the next generation of Croix-des-Bouquets metal artists.
