Philippe Dodard is born in 1954 in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. He studied at
the
Poto-Mitan Art School and then entered the Academy of Fine Arts. In
1974, he
worked as a layout artist in an advertising agency, met with Frantz
Ewald,
and founded a studio of audiovisual graphic art. In 1975, Dodard was
awarded
first prizes for a poster on the handicapped and a poster for the
Haitian Art
Festival. He worked as an advertising illustrator for the Haitian
newspaper
Le Nouvelliste. In 1978, he received a scholarship to the
International
School in Bordeaux, enabling him to specialize in pedagogic drawing. In
1982, he
designed a stained glass window for the Methodist church of Bird
College.
Two years later he received a scholarship from the Rotary International
Foundation and left on tour the Group Study Exchange of Haiti to give
conferences on
Haitian culture. Between 1971 and now, Dodard exhibited in Haiti,
Surinam
, Brazil, France and the United States namely Galerie d'Art Nader in
Coral
Gables, Florida.
Dodard's work as a graphic artist undoubtedly explains the angular
aspect of
the subjects he fits into a space without perspective. As an
international
renowned Haitian painter his name and art are mentioned is all major
Haitian art books namely â?? La Peinture Haitienneâ?? by Marie-Jose
Nadal & Gerald
Bloncourt;â?? La Rencontre des 2 Mondesâ?? by Jean-Marie Drot; â??Haiti
et Ses
Peintresâ?? by Michel Philippe Lerebours; and â??Peintres Haitiensâ??
by Gerald
Alexis. His art is well appreciated among art collectors and lovers all
over the
world.
