Roscoè B. Thické III

Bio/CV: Roscoè B. Thické III (b. 1981) was born and raised in Miami, Florida. After graduating high school Thické enlisted  in the US Army to embark on a journey of exploration and transformation. The army provided Thické with the opportunity to see the world via his travels, but it would be a volunteer based  photography class in South Korea, that would take Thické from amateur explorer of culture and customs to the intentional, stirring, and impressive images we see of his work today. Roscoè pursued his passion for visual arts by studying photography and design at Broward College. Thické’s work is centered around the resilience of spirit, affliction of memory, and the art of “seeing”. Roscoè received the 2021 Ellie Schneiderman Creator award and is currently an Artist-In-Residence at Oolite Arts in Miami, Florida. 

Artist Statement: I am a Photographer and Visual Artist that currently holds a Studio Residency at Oolite Arts on Miami Beach. My photography and visual artistry aims to tell authentic stories of my subjects and transform their personal experiences and current state of being into a visual narrative that can be seen and felt by the viewer. These narratives are displayed not only in the image itself but in the arrangement, framing, pairing and exhibition of the photographs. My work bridges a gap between different aspects of society by acknowledging and highlighting different  perspectives. as recognized  in his exhibited work through the Brooklyn Academy of Music, The Bass Museum. 924 gallery, Void Projects and The Art and Culture Center in Hollywood, Fl.
