{"title":"Guyodo (Frantz Jacques)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eGuyodo (b. 1973), born Frantz Jacques on December 7, 1973, is a Haitian sculptor, painter, and draftsman from Port-au-Prince. He grew up off the Grand Rue, where as a child he carved wooden souvenirs for tourists, and he still lives and works in the neighborhood where he was born. He became part of Atis Rezistans, a community of artists who create from discarded materials. His sculptures combine car parts, plastic, wire, and found bone, while his paintings and drawings use cereal boxes, calendar backs, and secondhand clothing. Vodou spirits and the realities of poverty in Haiti are recurring themes. Self-taught and working independently, he has exhibited in Paris, New York, London, Milan, Bordeaux, Pittsburgh, Edinburgh, and Geneva. A 2020 fire destroyed more than two thousand of his works. \u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"guyodo-vodou-spirit-figure-painting-on-board","title":"Guyodo (Frantz Jacques) 19.5\"x12\" Vodou Spirit Mixed Media on Board Painting #1HK","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA striking original by Guyodo, the Port-au-Prince artist Frantz Jacques, painted around 2000. His Vodou-inspired spirit figures draw on the visual language of the Grand Rue. A luminous green and yellow figure stands frontally against a dark, textured ground. Its red-rimmed eyes are set with small applied discs, and a tiny red spirit figure glows at its chest. Blue and red emissaries radiate from the upper corners, and a textured dark red patch anchors the center of the composition. The surface is built up with visible brushwork and the grain of the board itself, giving the piece a raw, ceremonial presence.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSigned \"Guyodo\" in blue at lower right, with the final letter running to the edge of the board. Condition is good, consistent with its age. The paint surface is stable, with no cracking, flaking, or restoration visible, and the applied eye discs and center patch are intact and secure. There is light handling wear to the corners and small paint losses along the bottom edge, where the plywood layers show. The reverse is bare board with original studio paint splashes and a hanging wire. We will provide a Certificate of Authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Guyodo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67650045509875,"sku":"GUYODO#1HK","price":1350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0527\/9979\/9453\/files\/Guyodo19.5_x12_OnBoardPainting.jpg?v=1791247192"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0527\/9979\/9453\/collections\/Guyodo19.5_x12_OnBoardPainting.jpg?v=1791248242","url":"https:\/\/www.naderhaitianart.com\/fr\/collections\/guyodo-haitian-artist-biography-sculptures-paintings.oembed","provider":"Myriam Nader Haitian Art Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
