Elucidating the multi-layered explorations of Haitian Canadian
artist Manuel Mathieu, this first comprehensive publication focuses
on how Haiti has informed Mathieu's work over the past few years.
Reflecting on the complex revolutionary history of his family
homeland by unearthing its traumatized subconscious, and the
erasure of memories of the oppressive and violent Duvalier
dictatorships, Mathieu's vibrant paintings blur the boundaries
between the personal and the political. Merging abstraction with
figuration, Mathieu abrades his work springing from found
photographs by rubbing and scraping off layers of paint, before
reintroducing impastoed snarls of color. Positioned at the fault
lines of political and environmental crises, Mathieu considers
Haiti's quest for self-determination as a prism reflecting a global
longing for freedom, and grassroots resistance to imperialist and
capitalist exploits.
