 and Stylistic Diversity in Contemporary African Art The exhibition provide
 d a glimpse into the wealth and enormous diversity of contemporary African
  art with the presentation of recent works by 10 artists\, representing fo
 ur generations. Although this was only a glimpse of the multi-faceted appe
 arance of contemporary African art\, we were extremely proud of the qualit
 y and versatility of the work brought to the Netherlands for this exhibiti
 on. For example\, the well-known color specialist Sam Ovraiti (Nigeria) sh
 owed acrylic paintings that seemed like a cross between Picasso and the co
 loring and lighting of the French Impressionists. Librist Eddy Masumbuku (
 DR Congo) combined mysterious abstract iconic heads in flowing layers of g
 rayish tones on bright areas of color. Sébastien Boko (Benin) created lyr
 ical semi-figurative sculptures with a surreal twist in wood and metal. Ki
 ngsley Ogwara (Luxembourg/Nigeria) composed large\, abstract\, colorful co
 mpositions with a lot of texture\, which took the shape of crowds. Patrick
  Musombwa (France/DRC) showed expressionist abstracts with a figurative hi
 nt and a hint of Edvard Munch. In contrast\, there were wall sculptures ma
 de of aluminum foil by Yusuf Seido Okus (Nigeria) and the subdued\, styliz
 ed pen drawings with coffee on paper by Abdoul Ganiou Dermani (Germany/Tog
 o). Emerging talents Barry Nzennaya (Nigeria)\, Gabriel Jideonwor (Nigeria
 ) and Benigno Mangovo (Angola) complemented the whole with paintings in cu
 bist\, abstract figurative expressionist and abstract surrealist styles re
 spectively. In short\, it was an eclectic overview that defied any stereot
 yping of African art.

 ing Generational and Stylistic Diversity in Contemporary African Art The e
 xhibition provided a glimpse into the wealth and enormous diversity of con
 temporary African art with the presentation of recent works by 10 artists\
 , representing four generations. Although this was only a glimpse of the m
 ulti-faceted appearance of contemporary African art\, we were extremely pr
 oud of the quality and versatility of the work brought to the Netherlands 
 for this exhibition. For example\, the well-known color specialist Sam Ovr
 aiti (Nigeria) showed acrylic paintings that seemed like a cross between P
 icasso and the coloring and lighting of the French Impressionists. Librist
  Eddy Masumbuku (DR Congo) combined mysterious abstract iconic heads in fl
 owing layers of grayish tones on bright areas of color. Sébastien Boko (B
 enin) created lyrical semi-figurative sculptures with a surreal twist in w
 ood and metal. Kingsley Ogwara (Luxembourg/Nigeria) composed large\, abstr
 act\, colorful compositions with a lot of texture\, which took the shape o
 f crowds. Patrick Musombwa (France/DRC) showed expressionist abstracts wit
 h a figurative hint and a hint of Edvard Munch. In contrast\, there were w
 all sculptures made of aluminum foil by Yusuf Seido Okus (Nigeria) and the
  subdued\, stylized pen drawings with coffee on paper by Abdoul Ganiou Der
 mani (Germany/Togo). Emerging talents Barry Nzennaya (Nigeria)\, Gabriel J
 ideonwor (Nigeria) and Benigno Mangovo (Angola) complemented the whole wit
 h paintings in cubist\, abstract figurative expressionist and abstract sur
 realist styles respectively. In short\, it was an eclectic overview that d
 efied any stereotyping of African art.
