Title:
Entre Nous: Robert Paret, Levoy Exil (2)
Program Name:
Entre Nous
Speaker:
Date:
November 16, 1997
Description:

  • Michèle Montas, J.J. Dominique, ak Monique Lafontant entèvyouve Levoy Exil sou mouvman Sen-Solèy la, premye fwa li rankontre Tiga, poukisa li chwazi fè tablo solèy la (ak lalin nan tou, pou l pa fè jalouzi), ak metòd li yo, kote li konn sèvi avèk pigman li jwenn nan ji legim kòm penti. Menm jan ak André Pierre, li kwè chak tablo gen yon chante ki mache avè l, epi li chante pou Danbala Wedo. Exil dekri yon seri stati li kreye Swason-Lamontay, ki gen ladan yo yon stati li rele Jonas Teresse, "madanm" Jonas ki rele Irania, ak plizyè zanmi.

  • Michèle Montas, J.J. Dominique, and Monique Lafontant interview Levoy Exil about the Saint-Soleil movement, his first encounter with Tiga, the reason he paints the sun (and the moon too, so it doesn't get jealous), and his methods, including using pigments derived from different vegetable juices as paint. Like André Pierre, he believes that each painting has a song that accompanies it, and he sings to Danbala Wedo. Exil describes a series of statues he has made at Soisson-La-Montagne, including a statue he has named Jonas Teresse, Jonas's "wife" Irania, and several friends.

  • Michèle Montas, J.J. Dominique et Monique Lafontant interviewent Levoy Exil au sujet du mouvement Saint-Soleil, de sa première rencontre avec Tiga, de la raison pour laquelle il peint le soleil (et aussi la lune pour qu'elle ne soit pas trop jalouse) et de ses techniques – il utilise notamment des pigments extraits de jus de légumes comme peinture. Comme André Pierre, Exil pense que chaque tableau correspond à une chanson et il se met à chanter pour Danbala Wedo. Il décrit une série de statues qu'il scuplta à Soisson-La-Montagne, dont une qu'il baptisa Jonas Teresse, une autre de la femme de Jonas – « madame » Irania et de plusieurs amis.
