africanartagenda:



Julien Sinzogan


Country: Benin


Style: Realist expressionism


Medium:Coloured Inks on Paper


Fun Fact:he studied art in France and ran a computer graphics shop for a while before beginning to paint professionally.


Quote: This is a work of the imagination, depicting something that is still to happen. Rather than being, like Schubert’s famous Symphony, an unfinished piece, it is, however, a work that is yet to be brought to completion. To do this requires the spectators’ active participation in a communal act of imagination that would realise an opened Gate of Return. This realisation would close the cycles of exploitation and violence done - man exploiting man - recognise the truth of our common humanity, and enable us to move forward together into a future which would ensure that such atrocities could never, ever happen again
