Miami, FL – March 13, 2014 – For the opening of his solo exhibition, Imagined Landscapes, Miami-based, Haitian-born artist Edouard Duval-Carrié discussed his newest work with PAMM Chief Curator Tobias Ostrander in front of a crowd of art enthusiasts and fans on Thursday evening. The dialog addressed Duval Carrié’s shift in aesthetic, using an uncharacteristically dark palate, as well as how he translated his references, 19th century paintings depicting Florida and the Caribbean, into his own contemporary visual language. The artist’s response to the role of images of tropical paradise, both historically and today, in obscuring economic and social disparities emerged from the thought provoking conversation.
