Description
Au Bord du Rivage (At the Water’s Edge) is an original 2005 painting by Philippe Dodard. Two faces share one composition, a sharp profile on the left and a rounded, open form on the right. Both are drawn in confident black lines with echoes of magenta and soft pink. A pink circle glows at the center like a sun or moon over the water, and the cream ground stays open around it. Bands of teal and lime green frame the edges with woven marks that suggest waves, reeds and shoreline. The angular, simplified faces show the Cubist-inflected line that Dodard brings to Haitian subjects. Born in Port-au-Prince in 1954, he is one of the most recognized voices in Haitian contemporary art, known for paintings that draw on Vodou imagery, memory and Haitian identity. This piece is signed and dated Dodard 05 at the lower right. Its condition is good, consistent with its age. We will provide a Certificate of Authenticity.
About this artist
About this artist
Philippe Dodard (b. 1954, Port-au-Prince, Haiti) is a Haitian painter, graphic artist, and multidisciplinary creator known for angular, architectonic compositions that organize space without traditional perspective. Trained at the PotoMitan Art School under Jean-Claude “Tiga” Garoute, Patrick Vilaire, and Frido Casimir, he later studied at the Academy of Fine Arts and specialized in graphic design in Bordeaux, France. Dodard’s work blends structure, rhythm, and symbolic abstraction, reflecting his background in graphic design and visual communication. His practice extends beyond painting to include sculpture, ironwork, and jewelry, creating a distinctive modern Haitian aesthetic. His work has been exhibited internationally across Europe and the Americas and has influenced fashion and contemporary art, notably inspiring Donna Karan’s Spring 2012 collection. Today, Dodard’s work is highly sought after for its originality, design clarity, and cross-disciplinary appeal.
