An exhibition of paintings by Aboudia. The artist draws inspiration from street culture in his hometown, Abidjan, Ivory Coast.
This new series continues to address social inequalities and grapple with the hardships of daily life. In his imagery, Aboudia references characters from his direct neighbourhood, contemporary ‘Nouchi’ iconography and homage to more traditional forms of Vodou. Enigmatic details come in and out of focus, often only revealing themselves after several viewings.
Aboudia is noted for his heavily layered, brutally energetic paintings that combine an innocence and spontaneity with the portrayal of a dark interior world.
