Franklin Ratliff
I am an artist living in Jacksonville, Florida. I was born in 1990 in Ashland, Kentucky. In 2020 I completed an MFA in Painting and Drawing at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida. My work combines my personal experiences of family, home, and ritual with my broader interests in space, technology, and paleontology. Through this combination I build tenebristic images of surreal events that bubble with emotions and occasional humor. At the core of these events, draped in a web of smeared surfaces and unresolved symbols, is an invisible force that moves me.
