Ateliers Authentiques

CONSEILLER, FONDATEUR.

Biographie :

Natif de Port-au-Prince, vis au Canada depuis 2009. Passionné de dessin et géométrie, j’entreprends des études en dessin industriel et d’architecture avant de m’inscrire à l’École nationale des arts de Port-au-Prince. J’ai exposé mes premières œuvres en 2002 dans le cadre d’une exposition collective à l’ ENARTS.

Born in Port-au-Prince, Ascelin Junior Dormé has lived in Canada since 2009. Passionate about drawing and geometry, he undertook studies in industrial design and architecture before enrolling at the National School of Arts in Port-au-Prince. He exhibited his first works in 2002 as part of a group exhibition at ENARTS. He is one of the founding members and advisor of LAAAV (Les Ateliers Authentiques d’Art Visuel) and also of the artistic movement “Cathartisme”

Démarche Artistique :

Mon art s’inscrit dans la pratique esthétique de l’art contemporain, tout en faisant appel à des techniques issues de divers courants artistiques du passé. Je prends la liberté d’aller au-delà des conventions et des principes en utilisant la photographie, le collage, la géométrie, les couleurs et la nature. Mes œuvres laissent apparaître couleurs, formes, femmes, lignes, oiseaux, jeux de lumière et harmonie.
