Artwork Description

Created by Rachelle Maceus in 2020, Soleil Gaîté is a vibrant and captivating vertical composition rendered in the distinct Naïve and Saint Soleil styles. Set against a rich, warm mustard-yellow background, the artwork features stacked, stylized faces and organic shapes outlined with characteristic yellow and black dotted stitching-style borders.

The vertical piece incorporates a striking palette of red, teal, bright yellow, and soft blue forms, creating a rich folk-art aesthetic. The artist’s signature and the date ‘2020’ are neatly inscribed in white at the lower right.
