Francks Deceus
Spring Break Morning #2 - Allegorical Figurative Painting, Red, Yellow, and Blue

2022

About the Item

Francks Deceus’ Spring Break Morning #2 is a 60 x 48-inches acrylic and collage work on canvas. The main colors are red, yellow and blue. The image is very playful, with a figure in a red suit floating inside a yellow buy. The work is part of Deceus very recent Spring Break series. The artist writes “ Spring break, I was thinking about some of the highlights of my life. Spring break brings me back to my college Years, a time that offered endless possibility. It was the first time I saw myself as a participant in the American dream and not just an observer". Francks F. Deceus was born in Cap-Haitien, Haiti, moving to NY when he was nine years old, where he has been living and creating ever since. Throughout his career, Francks has developed a unique modernist style where figures distilled to their pure features are layered in an abstract world that is evocative of our modern society. His work relates to artists like Norman Lewis and Howarddena Pindell in the use of unconventional texture and rich color and how it focuses on African American urban life and his community's struggles. His most recent series, Mumbo Jumbo, focuses on men wrestling with an adverse urban environment. It has been inspired by the same-titled Ishmael Reed's book focused on the complexities of the African American experience. Group exhibitions include the Brooklyn Museum, NY; Museum of Contemporary African Diaspora Arts (MOCADA), Brooklyn, NY; The National Civil Rights Museum, Memphis, TN; Gallery M, New York, NY; and Hampton University, Hampton, VA. His work is in private and public collections, including Xavier University, New Orleans, LA; Schomburg Center, New York Public Library, NY; Philipse Manor Hall State Historic Site House museum, Yonkers; New York, and International African American Museum, Charleston, SC; His work has been featured in publications such as The International Revue of African-American Art and The Village Voice, as well as being included in " 100 New York Painters ", by Cynthia Maris Dantzic.
