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”.

Manuel Mathieu. Levitation, 2018 (private collection).

Acrylic and oil sticks on canvas: 203.2 x 177.8 cm. Manuel Mathieu (2020): “For me, it started inward the movement, in the sense that I had to understand how generous I had to be with myself in order to keep going. Because a lot of the act of making art is giving to the world whatever you have. When I leave, I will be measured by what I gave, and not what I’ve taken. The act of sharing is an act of generosity in itself. That is not even part of my discussion”.

Manuel Mathieu. Wind Chime, 2015 (private collection).

Acrylic and oil sticks on canvas: 170 x 160 cm. Manuel Mathieu (2016): “I rotate around concepts like identity, memory, and the irony that comes with our existence. I turn myself to history and the power structures that are trying to define me. Being black, being from the Caribbean, being a man — these are labels that come with certain connotations. They can create value or take it away, and they can change, depending on where you stand”.
