Description

If I had to define and African art, a first word should summarize: the dignity Through these sculptures of ancestors whose energy must be transmitted over looked, these protective effigies receptacles forces that the group should benefit all geared to the secret of the sanctuary, it is the very nature of Lobi, living or dead, is identified, enclosures, expressed rigorously. Fiercely folded over themselves living an arrow distance” of any neighbor, the Lobi are deemed never to have been submitted. This rebelliousness has found its plastic laws. It is up to the hardness of the wood chosen that is revealing. If high quality of their plastic, these sculptures reach us beyond the gaze, contaminate us with their radiant energy qu’enveloppante least, make us relive that moment of great art that has long since deserted the West by which any form causes magic, any pace embodies the sacred and that Africa has been the ultimate front output only after apocalypses and mutations, it can be reborn here or elsewhere.
