Via @olajuartgroup 🖤👏🏾 Ephrem Solomon (@ephrem_solomon) uses wood carving as medium for his pieces as a direct link to 20-century politics, and the game of domination that goes along with it. At the heart of his works are empty faces, empty objects, that embody within solid fields of colour contemporary life in Ethiopia. Although his portraits have a timeless quality, he collages scraps of newspaper to the prints to inject them with markers of contemporary life. "My work portrays the distance between what the governed people need and want and what the response is from the governors".

Via @olajuartgroup 👏🏾 Eddy Kamuanga @eddy.kamuanga Born in 1991, Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo Kamuanga draws from the structural complexity of his hometown and revisits the traditional culture of the Mangbetu people. Referencing different forms of advertising and photography as well as traditional aesthetics, his paintings are an amalgam of complementary pop cultural forms, including music, fashion and dance. They offer an intelligent approach to popular culture by exposing the anxieties and joys of his contemporaries. #supportblackart #olajuartgroup #eddykamuanga #art #blackart #mangbetu #aesthetics #artnerd #artofvisuals #artstagram #artlovers #blackartist #diaspora #africanart #africanamazing #congo #drc #congoleseart #blkcreatives
