Following the devastating August 14th earthquake in Haiti the situation on the ground remains urgent. In addition to the death toll of 2,200, many hundreds of thousands of people have been made homeless and need necessities including food, water and shelter. To help with the relief effort, 3-time Grammy Award winning Haitian-born musician, producer and philanthropist Jerry Wonda and Youdy Sanon, Haitian American entrepreneur and CEO of global marketing agency Odagan, are hosting a special “Lot Koule” Art Exhibit featuring the works of renowned Haitian Artist Joseph Eddy Pierre on September 1st and 2nd at the Platinum Sound Gallery at 59 Franklin Street. Jerry Wonda Duplessis is also NYC Grammy Governor and Co-Chairman of the Producers and Engineer Wing.

An invitation-only VIP opening will take place with a red carpet at 5:30 pm and doors opening at 6 pm. The exhibit will be open to the public from 6:00 to 10:00 pm on September 2nd. The goal of the art exhibit is to sell 15 exquisite paintings by Pierre, with a percentage of all funds generated to be donated to on the ground Haitian relief organizations and to celebrate Haitian art and music culture.

Added co-host Youdy Sanon, “Art is embedded in the DNA of Haiti’s people, this exhibit exudes the rawness of our innate talents.”

Joseph Eddy Pierre is a Haitian artist born in 1972 in Cabaret, Haiti. Known as a contemporary abstract master, with a passion for colors and geometry, he developed a particular and easily recognizable style that has earned him worldwide recognition and acclaim. Joseph is very particular with his exhibits and Jerry Wonda and Youdy Sanon are proud that he has chosen New York’s Platinum Sound Studio Gallery as the location for this new exhibit to benefit earthquake victims in their home country.

Recently, Joseph Eddy Pierre has been involved in a number of projects around Haiti, including gallery expositions of his paintings at Art Center, Kolektif 509 and La Galerie D’Art Nader. He collaborated with his fellow colleague Bault in painting a mural at the French Institute of Haiti, and his latest painted mural can be found at the art center of Quisqueya University. Joseph captivated the Miami art scene this past March 2021 with his exhibit ‘Figures In Movement’.

After his studies at ENARTS, Joseph participated in training at the New York Student Art League. His first exposition was at the Center of Arts in Haiti. His paintings have allowed him to travel the world. Joseph Eddy Pierre has exhibited in New York, Boston, Chicago, Florida, Paris and Mexico.
