Eddie Arroyo is a painter who documents residential and commercial structures that will soon be replaced by new development, chronicling the negotiations of the cultural, social, and economic fabric of a community. Arroyo’s urban landscape paintings focus on Miami’s Little Haiti, where he lives and works. The artist’s style recalls historical European landscapes as well as scenes by American artists such as Edward Hopper, but his subject matter — the gentrification of a primarily Black and Latinx neighborhood — is contemporary. In his work, he paints buildings and structures from Little Haiti; the fast-disappearing, family-run storefronts, restaurants, and botánicas, all victims of the gentrification that is rapidly taking over this neighborhood which is home to many Haitian immigrant residents, as well as many residents from the rest of the Caribbean.
