Voodoo Devils Take the Sick - The Fight of Good vs Evil - Vodou
-
Description
Artist Wilson Bigaud paints a graphic narrative of mid-century life in Haiti without modern medicine. A man is dying yet there is no doctor present. In the struggle between good and evil, a life lies in the balance. It is unclear who will win this battle. Will the sick Haitian man survive? We do not know. The Catholic Priest, his Acolyte, the sick man's wife, and perhaps his brother are outnumbered by hyper-aggressive spear and sword-carrying horned and winged fire devils. They are in motion. The family members are dead still. The devils are trying to take possession of the man. The devil on the right pulls the sick man while a devil from outside the house leans inside. A third devil walks out of the picture plane as if he is confident the mission will be accomplished, Clearly, they are trying to take the sick man away.
The scene is tied into the traditions of Haitian Voodoo, which provides religious and spiritual healing as it merges with Roman Catholicism.
Signed lower right and inscribed on verso in French/Creole. "Diables contre prete pour le malad. "
