About Franck Hodelin:
Franck Hodelin is a multi-media artist and interior designer from New York City.

Franck received a BFA from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York. His figurative oil paintings straddle the boundary of realism and abstraction. Many of his works feature profoundly intimate and painterly portraits of black men, homosexuality, the LGBTQ+ community and other marginalized people.

In 2023, Hodelin was a recipient of the Warner Bros. Discovery 150 grant. In 2021, he received a grant from the New York City Artists Corps and held a successful open studio exhibition. He was awarded a Queens Council on the Arts “New Works Grant” in 2020 to create a series of work exploring the human form, sexuality, and equity that were featured in a solo show at Local Projects Gallery in LIC.

Recent exhibitions include a 2-person show at the Chashama Gallery in New York City in 2023; the Long Island City Artists “Heritage” group show at Queens College in May 2022; Greene County Council on the Arts “New Perspective: Selected Works of Artists From the African Diaspora” 2019 ; LIC-Artists “Fear III: Visiting Death” 2019.

Franck Hodelin currently resides and works in Sunnyside, Queens.
