Edouard Duval-Carrié (born 1954) is a Haitian-born American contemporary painter and sculptor based in Miami, Florida.

[1] His work is often overtly political, executed in attempts to embody his nation's spirit and its troubles with an attitude that is neither detached nor ironic.

[1] Later in Mardigras at Fort Dimanche Duval-Carrié juxtaposes Duvalier against a torture chamber, an army general, and other symbols of the repressive regime.

I look closely at the savagery on both parts of the struggle, understanding and giving my total sympathy to the downtrodden, not realizing that patterns are easily learned and extremely resilient to alteration...

So a step further or a level deeper was reached when the fabulous world of spirits, old and new, true and false, real and imagined, made themselves felt at different planes of consciousness.

The piece draws from the 19th century painting View from Fern-Tree Walk, authored by American painter Martin Johnson Heade.
