{"title":"CONTEMPORARY AFRICAN ART","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"In recent decades of the XX century, the prevailing optimism of liberation times in Africa has been replaced by the realities of life – social, economic, and ecological problems related to demographic processes. Identity searches, emerging parallel to independence movements, are also gaining momentum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, amidst strong processes of globalization, migration, and cultural exchange, Africa is experiencing rapid social, political, economic, and cultural transformation, although due to a lack of knowledge, stereotypes and myths about Africa are still alive, and it is often presented as a homogeneous entity. However, African identity is multi-layered, and it is impossible to write a single common history of Africa. In the exhibition, fifteen authors from six African countries address contemporary issues of identity and migration, racism and tolerance, peace and war in the modern world. They challenge widely held stereotypes about the 'uncivilized' continent, change the classic Western perspective, and create and tell a new story about Africa.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. Vilma Gradinskaitė | Dr. Karina Simonson\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCurators of the exhibition \"Contemporary African Art: Dreams and Realities of Identity\" (LNDM, 2022).\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"gavin-rain-south-africa-portrait-of-james-dean-2005-aliejus-neo-pointilistine-technika-drobe-100x100","title":"Gavin RAIN (South Africa) | James Dean, 2005 | Oil, neo-pointillist technique, canvas, 100x100","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eSign: reverse G.R.

As the artist suggests, the camera can perfectly COPY REALITY in seconds and there is no need to do the same on the canvas. On the canvases of ALPHA ODH the world of threatening urban existence is rendered. Introspection and social commentary gushing through his canvases are meant to start a dialogue about the human condition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn October 2023, Alpha ODH had a creative residency in Vilnius, and his SOLO exhibition was held at Tumo Gallery.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PRANAS ART","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42801088888996,"sku":"","price":1600.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0292\/6552\/6843\/products\/paper5.jpg?v=1664886658"},{"product_id":"pabi-daniel-gaze-ii","title":"PABI DANIEL (Ghana) | Gaze II, 2022 | Oil, acrylic, canvas, 100x76 (115x91)","description":"\u003cp\u003eSign: Pabi (front lower right)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePABI DANIEL  \u003c\/strong\u003e b. 1999, Ghana\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePabi is known as a versatile painter and advocate of hyperrealism. An outstanding feature of the artist is the precision in depicting faces, a result of years of sculptural practice, allowing him to create a three-dimensional painting with thick strokes of paint and convey the emotions of the subjects. The artist's painting technique is inspired by the writing symbols used in Akan language - ideograms, called Adinkra. Symbols, aimed at addressing societal issues, Black identity, social and political engagement, are inserted into the gestures recreated in the paintings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne side of the subject's face depicted by Pabi Daniel is realistic, while the other dissolves into abstract impasto swirls. Through vivid layers of paint resembling burns, scars, and wounds, the true owners of the faces calmly gaze. How can one understand what is reality and what is a picturesque narrative? \"The history of the African continent was nothing but a mask,\" says Pabi Daniel, hoping to lift the carpet of historical dust and depict the flourishing cultural evolution of African peoples.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PRANAS ART","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42801225040036,"sku":"","price":4800.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0292\/6552\/6843\/products\/GazeII.jpg?v=1664889648"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0292\/6552\/6843\/collections\/AAA_BANER.jpg?v=1664789199","url":"https:\/\/tumogalerija.lt\/en\/collections\/contemporary-african-art.oembed?page=13","provider":"TUMO galerija","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
