Andre Pierre has an interesting spin on identity through art. He began painting after an experience that led him to the practice of Voodoo, which then led to a conversation on the place where The Symbolic, The Imaginary and The Real, meet. He was born in Port Au Prince and painted there until he was introduced to a contemporary american artist who guided him towards more modern structures like stretched canvas. So his art began in a pre colonial area, but needed to adapt to a post colonial society. He  mainly focused on trying to show his dieties in the real world and how they interact with the real.
