During the festive opening weekend we will provide snacks and drinks during your visit. The exhibition can be visited until S eptember 5\, during which time we are closed during the summer holidays fr om August 4 to 25. About The unexpected universe The unexpected universe i s a largely black and white world with a tinge of colour\, somewhere betwe en reality and fantasy. With his unique semi-abstract visual language\, Am adou reinterprets the nomadic Fulani universe and brings it to life. A dre am world formed by various entangled and sometimes overlapping elements (r opes\, lianas\, knots\, leaves\, circles and other patterns from the ancie nt Fulani tattoos)\, narrative about humanism\, resistance\, tenacity\, re silience\, courage\, freedom\, and some other observations. His works seem to obey a rigorous geometry and form complex architectures\, which are si multaneously playful and surprisingly fragile. Lines\, circles\, triangles and quadrilaterals\, semi-mathematical figures that are never perfect\, c onnect Fulani symbols of natural life with ropes at the base. His images r esult in imaginary forms and grotesque figures that show a ragged vulnerab ility\, ethereal and always in motion. They allow the viewer to glimpse an unreal essence. About Sanda Amadou Sanda Amadou was born and raised in 19 78 in a Fulani community in Northern Benin. He holds a PhD in Sociolinguis tics (University of Ghana\, Accra) and received art education through resi dencies and master’s workshops. He lived and worked in Lagos for several years\, but returned to Cotonou\, Benin in 2019.
