Description
Mwenze KIBWANGA (DRC, Kilumba, 1925 - Lubumbashi 1999) The boat Oil on canvas mounted on cardboard 40 x 55 cm Signed lower right Mwenze Kibwanga *** Oil on canvas laid on cardboard, signed lower right, 15¾ × 21⅝ in. A fishing scene or river crossing, one of the favourite subjects of the Lubumbashi school. The human figure is omnipresent in scenes of daily life in Mwenze, who paints in a decorative spirit, stylised with thick brushstrokes hatching alternating warm and cold tones. The three silhouettes in the pirogue are part of this rhythmic, graphic language: the bodies respond to each other, the movement of the paddle can be discerned in the cadence of the strokes, while the water itself becomes an abstract surface.
