Vladimir Cybil Charlier (born 1967) is an American visual artist who lives and works in New York City. Her works reflect the complex dynamics linking two important geographic markers: The Caribbean and the United States. Her parents' migration into the United States allowed her to receive an education in fine arts and become a mix media artist. Her work includes paints, drawings, sculptures and others. Today she has a variety of work collections that have been displayed in numerous exhibitions within the United States and abroad.
Charlier received her BFA from Queens College in 1991 and her MFA from the School of Visual Arts in 1993. She was an artist in residence at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture (Summer 1993) and then at The Studio Museum in Harlem 1996-1997.
Charlier was born in Queens, New York, to Haitian parents. [1] She moved back and forth between the United States and Haiti in her childhood, attending both primary and secondary schools in Haiti and then spending her summers in New York. [2] Within this context, she explores her "in-between-ness" in her art as it relates to these two different geographical and cultural points. This leads to her work relaying elements of identity and how others understand their own culture. Her work often incorporates religious, spiritual, and Afro-diasporic elements and symbols from these two cultures into a unified image.
Her work has been included in El Museo del Barrio and Exit Art, both in New York City; the Museum of Latin American Art, Long Beach, California; Centro Cultural de España, Santo Domingo; the Perez Art Museum Miami, Florida; and the Grand Palais, Paris. In 2003 she won the solo exhibition Prize at the Caribbean Biennial at Museo de Arte Moderno, Santo Domingo; and also participated in the Cuenca Biennial, Ecuador, and the Biennale di Venezia, Italy.
