Whilst researching Caribbean art, I stumbled across a new artist I had not heard of before, Ikahl Beckford. He was born in Jamaica but currently resides in New York. I find his work very interesting as he varies the materials he uses to create his compositions and they all look and feel very different. As seen in his pieces "Sister Act" and "Tree of life", the sense of motion and movement in his work is strongly influenced by reggae music, which I hope to achieve in my work.
