About the Item
Spring Break Sunday #2 by Francks Deceus is a dynamic collage on paper that blends abstract forms and geometric shapes with vibrant color to evoke both freedom and societal constraints. The composition is dominated by yellow floaters, which are both scattered and layered across a colorful landscape of blues, greens, and pinks. These floaters, reminiscent of carefree moments, form the visual heart of the piece while simultaneously challenging the viewer to reflect on deeper themes of identity, leisure, and societal structure. The use of collage introduces an added tactile element, with the overlapping shapes and textures creating a layered, almost sculptural effect. Deceus uses the medium to offer a contemporary take on pop art's boldness, while imbuing the work with a nuanced narrative about the human experience. His work connects with the chaos of youth and the layered complexity of modern life.
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 evocative of our modern society.
His work relates to artists like Norman Lewis and Howarddena Pindell in using unconventional texture and rich color and how it focuses on African-American urban life and his community's struggles.
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.
Deceus 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 and included in "100 New York Painters "by Cynthia Maris Dantzic.
