Art & Martinique. What else?

« The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls » said Picasso. 
That is the reason why Deux noix de Coco proudly mixes Art and Travel.  

Open your mind, your heart, your soul, and follow us in a world of Imagination.

A visit in Martinique is not only about heavenly places. Fort de France can offer much in the way of cultural interest. The contemporary art scene, in particular, is burgeoning thanks to several exciting venues.

Deux Noix de Coco had the chance to meet Caryl Ivrisse-Crochemar.

He is the director of 14°N 61°W, passionate by contemporary art and Martinique… Just like us !

The program of his gallery is fueled with many exhibitions and projects ; moreover, it provides help to talented Caribbean artists.  

For sure a place you will remember.

Enter the courtyard, and be ready to feel VIP.

That day, we were invited to the private viewing “You were born inside a skeleton” by the Artist Julien Grenier.

With humor and poetry, the artist speaks to us about a world on the margins of the brutal and the fantasy exploring the archaic part that resides in our society. Knowledge, the sacred, decorations and narratives in the margins of History, with recomposed perspectives, forced tones, with bodies in motion, another world arranged according to its spirit.

His work explores the motives for freedom, censorship and violence of political or ideological systems. Julien Grenier invited us to look for an instant, at the light of our world, accepted or rejected ideas and individual experiences of life, under another prism.

That was a perfect evening.
