Frantz Patrick Henry is an artist of Haitian origin living in Montreal since 2011. Graduated from the Université du Québec à Montréal in 2019, he received an Excellence Scholarship in Sculpture from the McAbbie Foundation for his installation “I Am New Here” (2020). 

Active in the artistic community of Montreal, he is involved in artist-run centers, notably at DARE DARE, where he serves on the board of directors, the programming committee, and the strategic planning committee. He is also a new member at Centre Clark. He collaborates and sometimes provides technical support in sculpture to other artists. 

A multidisciplinary artist, he explores the theme of “becoming” through sculpture, painting, installation, photography, and animation. By appropriating everyday objects diverted from their function, his works often unfold in the form of a site, inviting the viewer to experience the work in the mode of a social geography. 

SCULPTURE TALKS. Latin American and Caribbean Artists & Curators Hosted by the Department of Art, Art History, and Design (AAHD), Sponsored by the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS) Sculpture TALKS is a CLACS–AAHD initiative focused on artists and curators from Latin America and the Caribbean whose practices engage the expanded field of sculpture. The series is designed to bring these voices directly into the Sculpture classrooms and studios, exposing students in the Department of Art to contemporary ways of understanding, thinking about, and practicing sculpture today. Emphasis is placed on dialogue, process, and professional exchange rather than a traditional keynote format. Lectures are open to the entire MSU community.
