Roscoè B. Thické

Roscoè B. Thické III (born 1981, in Miami, Florida) is an American lens-based artist whose photographic practice explores memory, family, community, intimacy, and the lived histories embedded in Black Miami. Working across photography, experimental printing techniques, artist books, and framing-based presentation, Thické examines inheritance, neighborhood life, and emotional interiority through narrative image-making rooted in Liberty City, Miami Gardens, and the social textures of South Florida.  Thické is largely self-taught as a photographer. After graduating high school, he enlisted in the U.S. Army, and while stationed in South Korea he took a volunteer-based photography class that helped shape the beginning of his artistic practice. His work often engages family archive, place, Black domestic and community life, and documentary traditions, using environmental portraiture, experimental printing, unique framing concepts, and sequencing to consider how memory and belonging are carried through ordinary spaces and gestures.  His work has been exhibited through Oolite Arts, Untitled Art Fair with Homework Gallery, Superposition, Kates-Ferri Projects, and other contemporary art platforms. He received the 2021 Ellies Creator Award and the 2024 South Florida Cultural Consortium Visual and Media Artists Grant. Roscoè B. Thické III lives and works in Miami, Florida.
