Jupiter is pleased to present a solo exhibition of new work by Ivorian-American artist Monsieur Zohore in NADA Miami’s Curated Spotlight. Titled Bon Voyage, the paintings and sculptures comprising the exhibition pose an incisive, facetious, and potentially even flippant critique of resort culture as it represents the epitome of relaxation and luxury despite being riddled with strife and trauma.

 

Pop culture and art history collide in Zohore’s practice as he draws upon varied source material—from Spring Breakers (2012) and the 1994 adventure thriller The River Wild to the seascapes of J. M. W. Turner, The Raft of the Medusa (1819) by Théodore Géricualt, and Christina Sharpe’s In the Wake: On Blackness and Being—to create a potent visual language with which to convey necessary truths about society’s darker ills.

 

Using found objects and images to engender such juxtapositions, Zohore transposes photos onto Bounty paper towels with an inkjet printer before affixing them to his canvases which are similarly covered with a thick layer of paper towels to create a textured and absorptive surface. Doused with fabric dye and bleach, the resulting works reflect a mess of culture and history that is both created and cleaned up at the same time.
