Description
This vibrant composition by Haitian master Lamarre Sanon presents a richly layered wetland scene animated by brilliantly colored water birds gathered among lush reeds and flowering aquatic plants. Executed in 1994, the painting showcases Sanon’s refined decorative sensibility, combining meticulous patterning with a harmonious palette of greens, golds, reds, and blues that create both rhythm and depth. The birds—each rendered with distinctive markings and expressive presence—are set against a softly modulated landscape that evokes the tranquility and abundance of Haiti’s natural environment. Sanon’s controlled brushwork and balanced composition lend the work a timeless quality, making it equally compelling as a narrative scene and as a purely visual statement. Painted on canvas and unframed, the work offers generous scale and strong wall presence. It comes from the private collection of a collector in Canada and will be shipped directly from that collection. A Certificate of Authenticity will be issued by Myriam Nader Haitian Art Gallery upon purchase. This painting is an excellent opportunity for collectors seeking a mature, well-preserved example of Lamarre Sanon’s celebrated figurative and nature-inspired work, recognized for its decorative strength and enduring appeal within the canon of Haitian art.
About this artist
About this artist
Lamarre Sanon (born August 2, 1954, Jacmel, Haiti) is a Haitian painter and the younger brother of artist Roosevelt Sanon. After attending Moya College in Jacmel, he began painting in 1973 under the guidance of Marcsene Montprimier. Working in a “primitive” (self-taught, folk) style, Sanon developed a direct, vibrant visual language characterized by simplified forms, strong narrative clarity, and expressive color. Sanon’s palette is especially recognizable for its bold use of red, yellow, and green, which energize his compositions and give his paintings a distinctive visual identity. His work reflects the spirit of Jacmel’s artistic tradition and contributes to the broader Haitian naïve and folk art movement. His biography is referenced in Haiti Voodoo Kingdom Riviera by John Allen Franciscus (1980), which notes his early formation and artistic direction.
