Description
François THANGO (DRC, Brazzaville 1936-1981) Those who think they are strong Oil on canvas 28 x 1080 cm Signed and titled lower right *** Oil on canvas, signed and titled lower right, 425¼ × 11 in. Provenance : Private collection. Acquired in a private sale in 1986, Perpignan. With its exceptional format of over ten metres, Ceux qui se croient êtres forts unfolds like a vast narrative frieze - a continuous procession of stylised figures, animals and plant forms with black outlines and bold colours. The title introduces a critical dimension: behind the visual energy lies a reflection on power and its fragility. True to the spirit of Poto-Poto, Thango constructs an imaginary space where narrative, symbolism and formal freedom merge in a work that is both poetic and hypnotic.
