{"title":"Sébastien Jean (Haitian, 1980-2020)","description":"\u003cp data-end=\"406\" data-start=\"112\"\u003eSébastien Jean (1980–2020) was a Haitian painter and sculptor born in Thomassin, Haiti, known for his experimental materials and neo-expressionist style. A self-taught artist, he began creating at a young age, working with unconventional media such as sawdust, coffee grounds, sand, and bamboo. Jean developed a distinctive visual language combining texture, abstraction, and expressive intensity. His work reflects a strong connection to craft traditions while engaging with contemporary artistic practices. He exhibited internationally, including with the Fondation Agnès b in Paris, the 54th Venice Biennale, Global Caribbean III in Miami, and PIASA in Paris. He also participated in the Haiti-Africa residency organized by the French Institute. Today, Sébastien Jean’s work is increasingly sought after by collectors for its originality and material innovation. \u003cspan\u003eSebastien sadly passed away in November 2020.
