MIAMI— New works by French artist Jerome Soimaud will be on exhibit at the Yeelen Art Gallery by appointment only.

Around Jenin’s 2010 is a year ‐long series on Miami’s Little Haiti by Jerome Soimaud. From the perspective of a local corner shop, the artist invites you to discover the universe of this African Diaspora.

Jenin’s is the quintessential corner shop, a fixture in Little Haiti’s urban landscape. It is at the corner shop where much community life is played out. Vibrantly animated, the atmosphere offers many characters: the shop owner, the talker, Casanova, the baller/shot caller, the notorious, and even the dreamer. Ideas are spilled, gossip is shared and a vision for the future is laid out. You occasionally find the stumbling drunk, the so‐called lady of the night, and even the police ‐all patrolling and adding to the spirit
around Jenin’s. It’s about life, surrounded by streetlights, the wailing of sirens, and the sweet sounds of soul music.

Artist Jerome Soimaud has shown three parts of this on going series consisting of works of oil on canvas, charcoal and graphite on canvas and photography. He now presents
part four.

Soimaud’s work sets a stage of themes dedicated to the poetry and beauty of the unheard voices. Born in Paris 1964, the artist now lives and works in Miami.
