Description
Philippe Dodard’s Quête d’Espoir (2025) is a powerful, collector-ready acrylic on canvas that captures the artist’s signature fusion of modernist structure and Haitian visual soul. Two monumental, mask-like figures rise from a glowing field of oranges, reds, and golden light, their forms built from bold contours and layered planes of color. Dodard’s expressive geometry and textured surface create a rhythmic push and pull between intimacy and monumentality, suggesting a shared journey—one rooted in resilience, connection, and quiet determination. The palette feels like heat and dusk at once, while the simplified faces carry a timeless, symbolic presence that invites long looking. With its striking composition and rich painterly texture, Quête d’Espoir makes an immediate statement in any space, from a refined home interior to a serious corporate or institutional collection. As a newly created work by one of Haiti’s most important modern voices, it offers both aesthetic impact and long-term collectible value. The painting is signed, unframed, and in excellent condition. A Certificate of Authenticity will be issued by Myriam Nader Haitian Art Gallery upon purchase.
About this artist
About this artist
Philippe Dodard (born 1954, Port-au-Prince, Haiti) is a Haitian graphic artist, painter, and multidisciplinary creator known for angular, architectonic compositions that organize space without conventional perspective. As Haitian art critic Gérald Alexis noted in Peintres Haïtiens, “a graphic artist, Dodard depicts angular subjects which he fits into space without perspective,” a description that captures the distinctive structural clarity and design-driven rhythm that define his work. Dodard began his career as an advertising illustrator and earned early recognition when he received first prize in drawing at the Junior Seminary of St-Martial’s College in 1966. He later studied at the PotoMitan Art School with leading Haitian artists Jean-Claude “Tiga” Garoute, Patrick Vilaire, and Frido Casimir. In 1973, he entered the Academy of Fine Arts and went on to work as a layout artist, eventually founding an audiovisual and graphic arts studio. In 1978, Dodard received a scholarship to the International School in Bordeaux, France, where he specialized in pedagogic graphic design. Two years later, he was awarded a scholarship from the Rotary International Foundation and traveled with Haiti’s Group Study Exchange, giving conferences on Haitian culture. His work has been exhibited throughout Europe and the Americas, reflecting both his international presence and his role as a cultural ambassador for Haitian visual language. Over time, Dodard’s artistic practice expanded beyond painting to include large-scale sculpture, fine ironwork, and jewelry design. His imagery has also crossed into fashion and contemporary museum contexts; his paintings inspired American designer Donna Karan’s Spring 2012 collection and were featured in a joint exhibition with her at the Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami. Today, Dodard is recognized for a uniquely modern Haitian aesthetic that merges graphic structure, cultural symbolism, and experimental form across multiple media.
