Eric Jean-Lous was born in 1957 in Jeremie, the “Town of Poets’ on the southwest tip of Haiti. He came to Galerie Monnin in the mid 1970’s, the time when the movement known as the School of Jacmel was evolving. This movement should more correctly be called the School of Monnin as it was the ateliers of that gallery on the Grans Rue that brought together the young artists of the third generation who worked and played together, and taught and learned from one another.

With close encouragement from Michel Monnin, they developed brilliant techniques to combine with their bizarre imaginations. Jean-Marie Drot called them” sophisticated primitives. The atelier was unlocked day and night and depending on the hour, you might find, either painting or just visiting the Blaise brothers, St. Louis, Serge and Fabalon, Jean-Jacques, Simil, Lamour, and others. In retrospect, it was a glorious time for Haitian Art.

Eric Jean-Louis paintings have been galleried in multiple exhibits over multiple continents over the course of his career.
