Guy Stanley Philoche

Guy Stanley Philoche is a Haitian born artist based in New York City whose figurative paintings center Black subjects in moments of presence, dignity, and quiet power.

Many of his subjects are inspired by children he encounters on the streets of Harlem, where he has lived and worked for over twenty five years, grounding the work in lived observation and community. His work has been exhibited internationally and is held in prominent private, public, and corporate collections including Google, Merrill Lynch, and Deutsche Bank.
