Goodÿ

Guadeloupe  • 1975

Presentation

I am a Guadeloupe visual artist. I like to present myself this way because I come from Guadeloupe, an archipelago nestled in the Caribbean that has shaped my body and my mind. This place offered me and still offers me multiple landscapes: from dry to lush; places of learning varied from the most sacred to the most profane and meetings where I was able and can still share with the rich and the poor, the peasant and the senior manager, the young and the old, in a permanent round trip from one to the other having as a point of reference a friend who never leaves me: Analysis.

So I was born in Guadeloupe on November 22, 1975 to the sound of the Angelus in the hospital closest to the sky of my island, at nightfall and in a family where everyone must be by themselves while being available for others with respect for everyone. Since that day, I have gradually traveled the world with all these tools that life has given me to understand not the goal but the paths, the crossings, the approximations and the distances that make our differences the cement of our humanity through History and the stories that forge our common future, whatever we do.

I then fully invested in the visual arts on November 9, 2000 without any other training than my experience accompanied by my lifelong friend who will then become my other self: Goodÿ, so named because good for me, and topped with an umlaut on the "y" to signify this permanent gaze, riveted on the evolution of the World that I have to share with others. Today we are no longer one because I finally understood that my friend was myself; this awareness of things outside of what we have been taught of them, not this awareness of the little voice of reason but rather that of the Quest for the true meaning of these things.
