EXPRESSIONIST ART
A BEHIND THE SCENES LOOK...
BOPHO’s expressionist artwork takes a look at the emotional seasons we as humans live through, acknowledging that our emotions move in waves and cycles, never lasting forever but always coming back around; anger, sadness, excitement, joy, hope. BOPHO’s artistic journey started in their youth as a form of escapism from family drama and life’s daily qualms which can be heavily seen in their use of animation style and simple, but vivid colors.Their style has now evolved to reflect their multi-cultural influence and hunger for sustainability. These elements can be seen in their use of African symbolism, Southern plus NorthEast hiphop touches and integration of flowers and earth tones/materials.
BOPHO’s end goal with their art is to create conversations to help people better connect with others but most importantly — THEMSELVES. “How does it make you feel?” is a question often posed to viewers of BOPHO'S artwork. Each piece's description vague and without a true background, BOPHO expects their audience to create their own personal connection and story void of passive influence.
