Constant is a Brooklyn-based artist.
Heavy sculptural black strokes emerge against exposed canvas, interrupted by blocks of color, geometric fragments, and spontaneous line. In Constant’s paintings, these elements collide and coexist, creating unsettled spaces that feel at once constructed, erased, and continually in the process of becoming.
Each work operates as unsettled ground, a space where memory, migration, language, and silence meet, and where the viewer is asked to do some of the work of meaning-making themselves. In this sense, his canvases work the way Kreyòl itself works: taking inherited fragments and remaking them into something new, unresolved, alive, liberated.
He does not explain the work; he uses titles simply for cataloging. The way a forest does not explain itself. The plants, the flowers, the birds, they do not translate. They are, insistently, there.
In Constant's words: "I want people to ask the work — I notice you have an accent. Where are you from?"
