He transforms the vestiges of our consumption into works of art: sculptures, drawings, paintings… through which he rebels against his environment and the shameful misery in which families live without hope of getting out of it. In 2006, he produced with 3 other artists, at the request of the International Museum of Slavery in Liverpool, “Freedom sculpture” giant work, in commemoration of the 200th anniversary of the abolition of slavery then, in 2014, he was selected for the creation of a large-scale sculpture as part of the Haiti exhibition at the Grand Palais in Paris.

Guyodo (Frantz Jacques), Untitled
Haiti  • 1973

Presentation

Frantz Jacques (aka Guyodo), born in 1973, is an artist of the "Gran Street", one of the poorest areas of Port-au-Prince (Haiti). He works in an old wrecking yard with a community of artists, the "Atis Resistanz" who make art from the junk that clutters their industrial neighborhood.

Guyodo transforms the leftovers of our compulsive consumerism in works of art : sculptures, drawings, paintings… His practice provides him with a means of rebellion against his environment and the misery in which people live around him, with no hope for a better life.

In 2006, commissioned by the International Slavery Museum in Liverpool, he produced together with 3 other artists "Freedom sculpture", a giant piece commemorating 200 years from the abolition of slavery. In 2014, he was selected to produce a large-format sculpture for the "Haiti" exhibition at the Grand Palais in Paris.

Besides his sculptures, he also produces drawings on corn flakes boxes and various types of packaging.
