What do you think? I saw this artist's work seven years ago and I had the tremendous urge to cry. It is astonishing up close. The piece I was viewing was the portrait of a boy whose head was surrounded/targeted by raindrops, splinters or bullets. It was the uncertainty of what I was looking at and the gruesomeness of what it could be that made be sad. Once you are able to climb out of the emotional pull of the piece you are able to appreciate the interdisciplinary talent that is Aimé Mpane's. The portraits are carved with an axe.
Aimé hails from the DRC. I love all of it.
