Jean-Claude Garoute -TIGA (1936-2006) 24" x20" Spiritual Abstraction 1998 Acrylic on Board Unframed Painting #1SM Artists/Obin Michel M reflecting the artist’s deeply humanThis signed 1998 work by Jean Claude Garoute (Tiga), founding force of the Saint Soleil movement, represents a powerful example of his mature spiritual abstraction. The commanding visage, constructed in layered earth pigments, ochres, and deep blacksevokes Vodou cosmology, ancestral presence, and the sacred duality between seen and unseen worlds. By the late 1990s, Tiga had distilled form into symbol. Faces became portals. Structure became ritual.
