Inspired by nature, he works with coconut, ebony or amazaque wood. Embodying a hybrid art, made of mixed influences, he revisits everyday African objects such as old canoes transformed into sofas, trunks of coconut trees that become mirrors, bookcases or plastic basins overturned and topped with wax cushions ... comfortable basin stools in African fabrics of shimmering colors, as many furniture and sculptures with clean lines: his creativity is expressed through these original pieces.

The contemporary art world tour continues at the 193 Gallery with a focus on abstract art and the visual impact of color through the exhibition: Colors of Abstraction 2. The exhibition is a crossing at the confluence of painting, sculpture and design which finds its climax in an exploration of color which leads it towards abstraction: at the crossroads of spaces, of the African and European continents. and South American. Ghizlane Agzenaï (Morocco), Valentina Canseco (Chile-Brazil-France) and Jean Servais Somian (Ivory Coast) are art smugglers, their gestures transcend eras, borders and territories. Alchemists, masters of color, plastic artists, they orient variations and decipher signs around a free, colorful and contemporary stroll at the sources of abstraction. They are reminiscent of the awakening of a current born at the beginning of the 20th century by flashes of Fauvism, cubism, figurative expressionism.Join our mailing list
