这是第一部关于常驻达喀尔和纽约的混合媒体画家奥马尔·巴(生于1977年)的专著,他的暴力和幻想的超现实场景来自广泛而黑暗的主题组合:当今的专制军阀、传统民间传说、殖民压迫和古埃及法老。他最持久的主题是美国和全球各地黑人社区的经历。巴通过一种密集纹理的视觉语言表达了所有这些叙事线索,他将油画、水粉、蜡笔和印度墨水运用到瓦楞纸板等粗糙的现成表面上。在准备好统一的黑色背景后,巴在场景中填充了大量的幻想生物――部分是人,部分是动物或植物 Ba’s densely textured paintings intertwine African and European histories to explore the corrupting effects of wealth and power and their impacts on communities
This is the first monograph on Dakar- and New York–based mixed-media painter Omar Ba (born 1977), whose surreal scenes of violence and fantasy draw from a wide and often dark portfolio of themes: despotic warlords of the present, traditional folklore, colonial oppression and the pharaohs of ancient Egypt. His most abiding theme is the experiences of Black communities, both within America and across the globe. Ba articulates all these narrative threads through a densely textured visual language, applying oil, gouache, crayon and India ink onto rough, readymade surfaces such as corrugated cardboard. After preparing uniform backgrounds rendered in black paint, Ba populates the scenes with an abundance of fantastical beings―part human, part animal or plant.
