Francks Deceus

A figurative African American painter with Haitian roots. His works of everyday people are an ongoing conversation that shows to the world, the very faces of people who, often overlooked, help keep America going. Be it a family waiting for a bus or a couple sharing an embrace after purchasing a new house, Deceus’ pieces tap into a solid understanding of the American experience that is beautifully expressed.

In terms of media representation of the Black experience, Deceus believes that there comes a point where ‘we have to take blame,’ in terms of ‘falling for commercialism.’ Working out of Brooklyn, NY, Deceus is a full-time artist who makes his living from the works he sells.
