A native son of Connecticut, Carl Edward Bocicault, was born by parents who migrated from Haiti, a country deeply rooted in the arts. Bocicault was early on heavily influenced by artist such as Ellis Wilson, Jean-Michel Basquiat, & Alphones Mucha. All of whom, playing a major role in his development and growth while simultaneously incorporating his own findings and philosophies by using different mixed media techniques, and mediums.
Using his knowledge as a graphic designer to get his message across, he often leaves specific details out of a painting so the viewer can imagine the imagery, or picture themselves in the painting. Bocicault has had somewhat of a celebrity following, with his style catching the eye of collectors such as director Spike Lee, two time welter weight boxing champ Andre Berto, and R&B singer Maxwell.
