Makenol Profil

16/4/2016

 
​One of the highlights of the recent DARK – Festival of the Unseen, organised by the artist Jill Rock at the Hundred Years Gallery, were the visionary paintings by Makenol Profil, from an amazing collection of contemporary Haitian art being promoted by gallerist Alexandre Latour.

​Profil specialises in intricate scenes from daily life in rural Haiti, hovering prismatically between the dream state and the everyday. His paintings bring to mind the highly detailed visions of Breugel the Elder, and the oneiric and fertile imagination of Hieronymus Bosch, but in a specifically Haitian context.
​Profil’s landscapes show human life and architecture as an integral part of nature, featuring surreal human and tree hybrids, with multiple perspectives, and a virtuosic use of colour, light and line.
Each painting by Profil works on different time levels, and they continue to reveal fascinating details, missed on first acquaintance.
