Marc Antoine Gaston
Born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, on July 17, 1960, the youngest of a family of four; I migrated to the United States in August of 1980. I attended Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey where I earned my BFA in 1985 and my MFA in 1987. As a graduate student, I was awarded a teaching assistant position and taught photography for two years; as such, I was privileged to study under some prominent artists such as Leon Golub, Melvin Edwards, and Emma Amos. I have shown my work in New York, New Jersey, California, Georgia and Haiti. I am currently an art educator in the state of New Jersey. My art can be categorized under the school of socio-realism. The dominant forces in my work are the varied issues that we grapple with as a society. Sprinkled in this artistic mix, are some elements of surrealism. This tapestry helps in the juxtaposition of shapes and colors and gives me the liberty to be as ambiguous as I may want to be without compromising neither form nor content. Art is my safest venue to convey my thoughts and feelings without any fear or reservation. My role as an artist is to visually challenge my viewers and engage them in a civil discourse that goes beyond the visual. My work in many ways echoes my surrounding. |
