Artist Bio
Jean Carlo Brutus
Carlo Brutus has a keen sense of history and of his own artistic roots. The primitive style of his work reflects his reverence for Georges Liataud, who Carlo readily admits, “is an important man in my memory.” He apprenticed with Gary Darius and his older brother, Jean Closter Brutus, but in 1994, opened his own workshop in order to, “produce my own works in my own style.” Jean Carlo's designs are influenced by the natural world, as seen in his birds on the wing and trees swaying in the wind. He is also influenced by the mythical realm of mermaids and magical beasts, while his elegant candle plates can be used in traditional Haitian candle ceremonies. He professes his love for the work, but realizes that it is not only his passion, it is his security. Jean Carlo says, “I love the metal sculpture and I appreciate the orders that I get so that we can have a better life.”
