Description : 1995 Agenda Jean Claude "Tiga" Garoute Promo, 1994. First Printing. Text by Gerald
Alexis, Rodney St. Eloi (including Variation sur Haiti en 100 movements), Tiga,
Lou Amina Grant.
This is more than an agenda, it is an art book featuring over 100
illustrations in B&W of Tiga's Variation sur Haiti en 100 movements; and was chosen
by Promo Plus to be featured after he had just received the Gold Medal at the
biennale of Santo Domingo for winning over 217 artists from 32 different countries
of the Caribbean and Central America.
Jean-Claude "Tiga" Garoute (December 9, 1935 - December 2006)
was a Haitian painter and sculptor. Born in Jérémie, Garoute co-founded a
museum of ceramic art in Haiti named Poto-Mitan. An abstract painter, he
participated in art festivals throughout the world. Tiga and Maud Guerdes
Robard founded the Saint-Soleil post-naïve school of Haitian painting. The
school was born when they offered farmers in Soisson-La- Montagne, a rural area
near Port-au-Prince, drawing and painting materials. Out of the movement came
such painters as Levoy Exil, Louisiane Saint Fleurant , St-Jean, and Dieuseul
Paul to name a few. The movement drew the eye of French author André Malraux
who dedicated a chapter to it in his book L'Intemporel. Tiga also created
Kay tiga, a gallery and cultural center where he taught children and adults art
through his Rotation Artistique (Artistic Rotation) method. The method
consisted of letting pupils roam freely from clay to drums to paint to ink. In
his own paintings, Tiga often used his "Solèy Brule" method, a
combination of ink and acid. Tiga died in December 2006 in Florida after
suffering from cancer. Haiti's February 2007 carnival was dedicated to him and
embraced the theme Solèy Leve (Risen Sun) to evoke the Saint-Soleil movement he co- created.
