Manuel Mathieu. Outside Window, 2018 (private collection).
Acrylic, chalk and charcoal on canvas: 228.6 x 190.5 cm. Manuel Mathieu (2020): “What you focus on owns you. I think it can be a distraction to talk about a work in relation to the gaze applied to it. I didn’t grow up in a world where I needed to paint Black people for them to exist in art, which is the case in the States, for example. When you look at Haitian painting, we’ve been painting Black people. We found through a dreaming state of painting. This is the kind of legacy I am looking back upon. But I don’t feel the need to address it”.
