Haitian metal artists SERGE JOLIMEAU and JACQUES EUGENE and RONY JACQUES are the creators of pieces that this video surveys. You may want to pause and "stand before them." Each sculpture's source is metal from 55-gallon oil-drum. All the process of rendering the flattened metal into the representations of Loa (Vodun Gods and Goddesses) is done by hand. Intricacies and imaginations very deep and hard-won! The music that happened to play while this survey went round the EVOLVE space, the upstairs part of the ANGELA KING GALLERY in New Orleans' French Quarter, is the NEVILLE BROTHERS' "My Blood", a song led by CYRIL NEVILLE. "That's my soul down there!" Catch it HERE--
You can view all of the three artists' pieces in their "MAKING METAL MAGIC" on the website of STICKING UP FOR CHILDREN ... HERE https://www.stickingupforchildren.com/metal-as-music.
