Born
in 1962 in Port au Prince to Haitian painter Louisianne Saint
Fleurant, Stivenson seemed to have a tough act to follow. However,
he busted on the art scene early, developing his own style, which
some collectors called "violent". Like the Saint Soleil painters,
his work was beyond doubt influenced by the ideas and symbolism
of voodoo. Stivenson worked with Tiga among other great painters.
His work has been exhibited in Japan, Canada, the US, France at
The Grand Palais in Paris in 1989.He was featured in the French
magazine "Elle"(story and paintings).Stivenson's paintings are
on permanent exhibit at several galleries and museums worldwide
including Selden Rodman's in New Jersey, USA. Stivenson Magloire
died on October 9,1994.He was stoned to death by some enemies. |
