Resilient is how the late Okwui Enwezor called the Africans. The artists in this show are from Cameroon, in their work they picture daily life in their colorful, dynamic and chaotic hometown Douala. Resilience and leadership is what we see in the vibrant paintings on view: beautiful black bodies, colorful faces, seductive attitudes, stylish outfits, and powerful expressions. In search for freedom to express their potentials and show it to the world.
Gallery SANAA is thrilled to show the works of these emering and established artists in the Netherlands!
