Spring Break Morning #1 - Haitian Artist, Caribbean Colors, Red, Yellow, Blue
By Francks Deceus
Located in New York, NY
This striking painting blends vibrant colors with thoughtful abstraction, making it a perfect centerpiece for any contemporary interior. The central figure, a red-hooded form floating on a yellow raft, contrasts against swirling blue and green waters, evoking a sense of solitude and contemplation. Beneath the figure, a distorted reflection adds a layer of complexity, drawing the eye downward, and suggesting deeper emotional currents. The bold palette not only recalls the rich Caribbean roots of the artist, who was born in Haiti but also speaks to the influence of urban life in Brooklyn, where the artist has lived since childhood. This duality between Haitian heritage and New York's fast-paced atmosphere creates a dynamic visual tension in the work, which makes it an ideal piece for spaces looking to balance vibrant energy with introspective calm. The colors—rich reds, yellows, and deep blues—can bring life to minimalist or neutral-toned interiors, acting as a bold focal point that sparks conversation. The abstracted figure’s anonymity and the swirling motion of the water suggest themes of identity, displacement, and transformation, resonating with the artist’s personal journey as an immigrant. The title, Spring Break, may evoke ideas of rest and escape, yet the figure's isolation in the painting seems to suggest a more profound, perhaps introspective form of break from the outside world. This painting not only adds visual appeal but brings a narrative of cultural duality and personal exploration to any setting, making it perfect for art collectors who appreciate works that merge bold aesthetics with deeper meaning. Designers and decorators can use it to add depth to living spaces, blending its vivid color scheme with modern furnishings, or using it as a conversation piece in contemporary settings. For spaces needing a unique, culturally infused work that speaks to identity and place, this piece can anchor a room with both its emotional depth and visual strength. 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 possibilities. 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 evocative of our modern society. His work relates to artists like Norman Lewis...

Mumbo Jumbo BK#1 - Ironic Figurative Painting with Pink and Blue Colors
By Francks Deceus
Located in New York, NY
Francks Deceus’ “Mumbo Jumbo BK#1” is a 20 x 16 inch acrylic paint, color pencil, and collage painting on canvas. The main colors are pink, blue and red. The image is very playful, showing a man dressed as a superhero standing next to an entangled fire hose. The title “Mumbo Jumbo, is inspired by Ishmael Reed’s book under the same titled, where he attempted to capsulate the complexities of the African American experience. For Deceus is about capturing the complexity of his experience as an immigrant from Haiti back in the 1970s. A series of very colorful and playful works, focusing on the adventures of one figure named “Cappy”. The name is derived from Deceus family home town, Cap Haitien. Cappy is Deceus alter-ego; The images are intentionally drawn in the vein of comic strips with Cappy as the superhero. He goes out in the world and has to solve the kind of frightening experiences Deceus knew about as a Haitian immigrant, which in the paintings are ironically represented by the hose/snake snarling Cappy. Stylistically Deceus work incorporates many of the aesthetic forms of artists like Norman Lewis and Howardena...
