Jean Luc Iradukunda Interview with Beautiful Bizarre Magazine
Exclusive Interview with Jean Luc Iradukunda, represented by Bender Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina, based in Capetown, South Africa. Excerpt from introduction: "Jean Luc Iradukunda would like to introduce you to his ‘blue people’. As the name suggests, they are blue in appearance, reminiscent of aliens, sporting dark hair and golden teeth. These people are a creation of his own making that are built from a concoction of bold, jagged lines, splashes of flat primary and secondary colours and the most important ingredient, the complexities of the human existence. These ‘blue people’ have a playful tenderness to them as we watch them live their daily lives. Underneath all the bright, playful colours however, lie important, complex themes of identity, marginalization, society and what belonging means as a migrant."
