Haitian-born art historian and critic Gérald Alexis left Haiti at a very young age to study in Austin, Texas, and Belgium. His specialization is primarily Latin American art, emphasizing the Caribbean and Haiti. Gerald Alexis held several notable positions. He was curator of exhibitions at the National Pantheon Museum of Haiti from 1983 to 1991 and director-curator of the Museum of Haitian Art from 1992 to 1998. Gerald Alexis was also an artistic advisor to the Nader's Art Galleries & Museum in Croix Desprez and Pétion-Ville, Haiti, from 1991 to 2003. In 1986, he organized an exhibition at the National Museum of Port-au-Prince on the theme of Christianity in contemporary Haitian art. "From his first steps, he noticed that artists had a marked preference for two themes: that of the earthly Paradise and that of the Crucifixion." Years later, when he did a writing residency at the Canadian Institute of Quebec, he continued his research by comparing the religious symbols of Haitian art and those from Quebec art. He will mount several exhibitions worldwide, from Latin America to Finland via the Grand-Palais in Paris, while being part of the conservation team for the American collection. Gérald has authorized two works: Peintres Haitiens (2000) and "Pour que vive la ligne: Tebó, une oeuvre pictoriale" (1995). He has also authorized several articles in specialized journals, reading comments, and exhibition catalogs. He has collaborated with magazines such as "Nuit Blanche" and "Vie des Arts." In 2004, he left Haiti to settle in Quebec City, where he collaborates as an arts and heritage advisor in developing the national historic site of Canada of the A.C. Davie shipyard and the International Miniature of Saint-Nicolas, in Lévis.» As part of the "Voodoo" exhibition at the Canadian Museum of History, he will present a conference on Vodooism in which he will attempt to explain how this spirituality can influence the visual arts of Haitian artists. He is a member of the International Association of Art Critics.
