PIERRE JEAN-BAPTISTE

Pierre Jean-Baptiste is a Haitian-American figurative painter from Flatbush, Brooklyn. After the passing of his mother, Pierre took a serious approach to learning more about art, turning to it as a positive outlet towards healing and controlling his emotions.

Pierre’s work highlights the Black American experience and with each series, he sheds light on intricate, motivated topics, providing culturally relevant expressions of resilience. Pierre uses various mediums, including mix media, acrylic, oil paint, oil pastels and sometimes collaging on his canvases. He utilizes his skills to convey the untold stories of black people surrounding his native home, with visual provoking paintings on self-identity, police brutality, racial justice and communal relations.
