In reading about the voodoo art and objects, I was fascinated by the Three Figures on Motorcycles by Jean Herard Celeur. The figure is dedicated to the Haitian spiritual figure ‘Gede’ who is a major character in the voodoo religion. The artwork is also associated with the issue of negative perception of the Western people on the voodoo culture. The bizarre imaging of the artwork resembles how the voodoo spiritual figures are imaged as unusual and offensive (Wittmer, 73).
