Frantz Lamothe
Haitian Village Figurative Landscape

circa 1990

About the Item

A gorgeous tempura painting of figures carrying goods and taking a break in a Haitian village by Frantz (Freddie) Lamothe (Haitian, b.1961). Signed "F. Lamothe" lower left. Presented in a wood frame. Image, 24"H x 24"L. Frantz Lamothe was born in Haiti in 1961, but left to join his parents in New York at age 4. Living on the Brooklyn streets by the age of sixteen, he began painting as the graffiti artist ‘Frenchy’ on the subway trains of New York. This way of life came to an end when, along with fellow graffiti artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Lamothe was taken up by the New York art world. After Basquiat’s death, Lamothe decided to return to Haiti. Here, his work matured, combining its original urban, anarchic style with the vibrant colors of the Caribbean, and the sacred diagrams of Voodoo. Now internationally acclaimed, he has worked in France, Germany, Japan and the USA Frantz Lamothe’s raw and visceral paintings reflect fragments of his varied past. The combination of Haiti’s vibrant artistic life and political instability (he was there for the coup against Aristide in 1991), gave a new edge to his work. Combining his original anarchic street style with the vibrant colors of the Caribbean, and the sacred diagrams of Vodou, his work garnered international acclaim, and has been shown across Europe, Japan and the USA. Through all this turbulent history, his work continues to reflect a wild and brutally honest vision of the world.
