F. Thomas, "Jungle Paradise" – Colorful Haitian Naïve Oil on Canvas

About the Item

F. Thomas, "Jungle Paradise" – Colorful Haitian Naïve Oil on Canvas in Gilt Frame Haiti, Late 20th Century Painting: 38" W x 28" H Framed: 42" W x 31.5" H A brilliantly composed and color-saturated oil on canvas by Haitian artist F. Thomas, signed lower right, and painted in the richly decorative, stylized tradition of Haitian Naïve art. Titled here as "Jungle Paradise" for its subject matter, the work presents a fantastical and utopian jungle scene alive with stylized wildlife—zebras, leopards, tigers, giraffes, flamingos, and exotic flora—rendered in high chroma tones and rhythmic patterning. Thomas masterfully balances symmetry and movement in this lush tropical world. A stream leads the viewer through the center, framed by vivid pink and purple flowers, while jewel-toned leaves and exotic animals anchor each side. Each creature is outlined with precision and characterized by playful, wide-eyed expressions, creating a tableau of innocence and wonder that is emblematic of the Haitian Naïve school. The artist’s signature—F. Thomas / Sou Haiti—confirms his connection to a celebrated lineage of Haitian painters known for transforming local folklore, spiritual life, and the natural world into expressive, densely patterned works. These paintings have become increasingly sought after for their unique place at the intersection of Caribbean culture and modernist aesthetics. Condition: Excellent vintage condition. No tears or flaking. Giltwood frame is in very good condition with minor wear consistent with age. Dimensions: Canvas: 38" W x 28" H Frame: 42" W x 31.5" H
