KHEALS
Independent Creative Company
Established 2014 | Jamaica
Kheals is an independent creative company founded in Jamaica in 2014 by visual artist and entrepreneur Mikheal Deans. Built around the intersection of art, design, visual communication and cultural expression, the company represents an evolving body of creative work, ideas and independent initiatives.
Over the years, Kheals has developed across multiple creative disciplines, encompassing visual arts, illustration, multimedia, creative production, cultural documentation and publishing. Its work reflects an ongoing interest in artistic experimentation, intellectual exploration and the preservation of creative expression.
Our Work
Kheals operates across a range of creative disciplines, including painting, drawing, illustration, figure studies, murals, printmaking and multimedia. Its online platform serves as a permanent collection of selected works, projects and creative developments.
Ideas & Research
Beyond the production of artwork, Kheals provides a space for the development and exploration of artistic ideas. This includes Assimilated Formalism, a concept coined in 2023 by Mikheal Deans and a research collaborator to describe the processing of new information and its integration with existing knowledge through the formal elements of art.
Publishing & Cultural Documentation
In 2023, Kheals expanded its creative presence with Kheals Post, an independent publishing platform dedicated to culture, art and society. Through editorial features, exhibition coverage, artist profiles and cultural commentary, it documents creative voices and developments within Jamaica and the wider Caribbean.
Our Vision
Kheals is committed to building a lasting creative institution that connects artistic practice, cultural preservation and independent thought. With its roots in Jamaica and an outlook beyond geographical boundaries, the company continues to develop a platform for creative expression, documentation and intellectual exploration.
