BPM
“BPM”—shorthand for Beats per Minute—alludes to the visceral energy embodied in the paintings of Guadeloupean artist Iro Mushoku. A dynamic mash up of image, text, and Caribbean colors, Iro’s work reflects his multiple passions: music, bodyboarding, and personal wellness. Visually dense creations pull viewers in with an exuberant mix of sunshine, urban grit, graffiti, and portrait-like figures that stare back at you with wide open eyes and grimacing smiles. Think the neo-Expressionism of American legend Jean-Michel Basquiat reinterpreted and transported to Caribbean-and-continental France. Then think again.
