If you live in a tropical climate, or even a place like Southern California or Florida (I’m sorry) where you can hit the beach nearly year-round, maybe your idealized version of St. Nick looks a little bit like this guy. While Santa’s floatie looks to be a little bit snug around the middle, at least he’s got an impressive cocktail to keep him refreshed! Happy Holidays, wherever you are!

Hervé Télémaque (1937 – 2022), moved from Haiti to the US in 1957 to work as an artist. He described his time there as a struggle against the dominance of both abstract expressionist painting and racism in wider society. After moving to Paris in 1961 Télémaque curated the Mythologies Quotidiennes exhibition. He also cofounded the narrative figuration movement, which incorporated elements of pop art and surrealism. La Girouette (The Weathervane, 1969) is typical of this approach – Télémaque ‘narrates’ the painting with objects and imagery from his personal life. Everyday items like a clothes hanger and beach chair are combined in surprising and ambiguous ways.
