Racism. Sexism. Alcoholism. Hedonism. Opportunism. Nationalism…

Deconstructing the different “isms” that pervade society, hip-hop emcee and visual artist HiCoup (Haiku) presents a mixed media abstract impressionist rendering of the societal influences that bombard us since conception in the womb.

“Izm” is an artistic exploration of the landscape of humanity through it’s conditioning both conscious and subconscious.

The exhibit features both found items (Doors, specifically) as well as figurative works in more traditional manifestations echoing a microcosm of similar examination. Doors become the center-piece because of their three-dimensional ability to create the metaphoric body. Also chosen for their utilitarian, universal qualities, they evoke a personal relevance to those who stand before them. The viewer is invited to create their own narrative through the lens of their own “isms” as we are all casualties of societies influence.

Combing graffiti art, cartoonist comic book-like drawings, with a suggestion of Basquiat/Pollock-like technique, the works display an array of color palates, displaced anatomy, random text, and variety of emotionally charged reckless and intentional “spatterings.”
