The centerpiece orbs are shadowed in black to lend dramatic contrast. This unframed “L’oeil” oil canvas measures 21” by 26”.

Although now deceased the artistic genius of Haitian painter Tiga lives on in his captivating oil canvases like “L’Oeil.” Tiga’s birthplace of Jérémie, Haiti is almost isolated from the rest of the country, but it is also called the city of the poets because of the numerous writers, poets, and historians who were born there. That isolation and creative influence are evidenced in “L’Oeil’s” brooding, dark form, a mainstay of Tiga’s form, which uses convoluting forms and suggestive facial expressions set in vibrant colors to evoke emotions.
