Like hardly any other city, New York is a symbol of freedom and individuality. The pulsating life in the streets leaves room for personal development and offers a lively exchange of cultures. A little off the beaten track of this dazzling life, a district with an extraordinary art scene has developed. Quite a few artists and art lovers associate the Bronx borough with graffiti rather than framed paintings. The Bronx is synonymous with hip-hop, a style of music that is symbolic of the neighborhood's artists. Not allowing themselves to be pigeonholed, transcending genre boundaries and taking the too freedom to make art a personal work. Ikahl Beckford was born in Jamaica and spent his childhood in New York. His artistic ambitions were nurtured at an early age, with no particular direction. Ikahl developed a love for music and poetry in addition to a passion for colorful design. Art is a medium for Beckford to bring his dreams to life. The tools for representation are brushes, pencils, ink and sculpture.
Beckford describes his creativity as the cry of his soul, a transference of conscious thought onto canvas. Painting for him is a flow, a stream of emotion and love for humanity. As versatile as each person's mental world is, so is the artist's work. Art critics find it difficult to classify the style. The depictions are abstracted, they are no longer real, but they are also rarely completely detached from form. Wassily Kandinsky once said that the more frightening the world, the more abstract art becomes. The shapes and colors in Ikahl Beckford's world exist and relate to reality. The love of music flows into it, as does an intense involvement with women. Soft flowing bodies full of movement that only come alive through the sweeping lines. Women as symbols of strength, feminine, graceful and self-confident. These are paintings from which appreciation for life and humanity flow into every brushstroke. Art lovers looking for a consistent element in Beckford's work will find it in his sense of movement and energetic delivery.
Ikahl Beckford aims to appeal to people from different groups with his versatile style. The artist wants to create memories. He addresses the cultural nuances of his Caribbean homeland in art with similar intensity as motifs with African echoes. The lion as a symbol of strength and power is one of the recurring themes in Ikahl's depictions. Powerful and with a lively mane, the paintings radiate a unique energy. Ikahl Beckford's goal is to spread love and joy in life, his language is painting and the most beautiful reward is when the viewer finds fulfillment in his works.
