Reginald Rousseau, a Haiti-born and Harlem-raised contemporary folkloric artist,  best known for his “Tropical Aesthetics” series, which encompasses paintings, mixed-media assemblages and digital illustrations. Rousseau studied studio arts — figurative drawings & paintings, photography, and printing — at the City College of New York while pursuing a degree in architecture. His practice is the product of decades of experimenting with mixed mediums and pushing boundaries.
