Frantz Zéphirin is one of the most recognizable contemporary Haitian painters working today. Frantz is the winner of a gold medal in the Third Biennial of Caribbean and Central American Painting at the Museum of Modern Art in the Dominican Republic. He was one of five Haitian artists selected for the Fifth Cuenca Painting Biennial in Ecuador.
Two of Frantz Zéphirin’s paintings toured the United States in the landmark exhibition “Sacred Arts of Haitian Vodou”, organized by UCLA’s Fowler Museum of Cultural History, with subsequent presentations in Miami, Chicago, Detroit, Washington, D.C., New Orleans and Baltimore. His work was shown by the American Visionary Art Museum in the “Holy H20” and “Home & Beast” exhibitions. In 2021, Frantz was included in the Haitian Masterworks exhibition at the Figge Art Museum in Davenport, Iowa, where his work is now a part of the museum’s permanent collection. In 2022, two of his paintings were featured at La Biennale di Venezia, further cementing his status as a trailblazer in contemporary Haitian art.
