Haitian Painting oil on Canvas by the artist Fritz St Jean. The Painting is 16" x 20" and is unframed.

About the Artist: SAINT-JEAN, FRITZ was born June 24, 1954. in Port-au-Prince, Haïti – He began to paint in 1971. Inspired by a local artist, he started to fill canvases with vivid jungle scenes. A year later, he entered the Centre D'Art. That same year, he was part of a group show of developing young artists and soon after, he began to sell his works at some of the country's most renowned galleries. He won several top prizes, including Gallery Monnin's artist of the year for three consecutive years. By 1980, facing stiff competition from many of the country's talented artists, St.-Jean set out to distinguish himself and stopped painting jungle scenes and began to depict the country's social and political problems in pastoral and voodoo scenes. These works are sometimes coded with subtle and obvious political messages. In 1983 St. Jean won first prize for designing a poster for the Air France Concord.

In 1985, he immigrated to the United States, where he continues to paint, though at a much slower pace.
