Jean Joseph Jean Baptiste 20 x 20

Born in 1967, Jean-Baptiste Jean Joseph is from La Vallé Bainet in the southern part of Haiti. From the beginning, he had a unique style, which he says came to him in a revelation. Rather than fill a flag completely with beads and sequins, he likes to create contrast by leaving the background sparse while filling the center image thick with a variety of new-style beads. His flags have been exhibited in galleries in Haiti, New York, Miami, California, and Australia and Paris.
