About the Item
Spring Break Afternoon #3 is a 34 x 46-inch acrylic and collage work on canvas. The primary colors are yellow and blue. The image is playful, with hundreds of yellow buys floating on a blue background, pushed by the current and the wind into groupings that then separate. The work is part of the 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, which offered endless possibilities. It was the first time I saw myself as a participant in the American dream and not just an observer". Deceus used the yellow buy both to create a playful symbolic image and a building element to slowly shift the foreground's figuration into the background's abstraction. The International African American Museum in Charleston, SC, recently purchased a work from the same series.
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.
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 and included in "100 New York Painters "by Cynthia Maris Dantzic.
