Edouard Duval-Carrié (b. 1954, Port-au-Prince, Haiti) is a Haitian American artist whose multidisciplinary practice explores Haitian history, Vodou spirituality, migration, colonialism and the layered cultural memory of the Caribbean diaspora. His family left Haiti for Puerto Rico during the François Duvalier regime when he was a child. He graduated from Loyola College in Montreal in 1978 and attended the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, living in France for many years before settling in Miami. Working across painting, sculpture, mixed media and installation, often with resin and glittering surfaces, he draws on Haitian iconography, religious imagery and historical narrative. His work has been exhibited at PAMM, the Fowler Museum and the Bass Museum. He is also active in Miami as a curator and cultural leader, and was named a Chevalier of the Order of Arts and Letters by France in 2016.
