In the Bulu cultures of Central Africa, certain sculpted forms were associated with representations related to memory and presence within the community.
This carved wooden mask, characterized by strong features, a contrast of dark and light hues, and an assertive expression, incorporates these aesthetic codes.
The structure of the volumes and the surface work reflect a quest for visual intensity, in a contemporary interpretation of these forms.
Origin: Bulu Culture — Central Africa (Gabon / Cameroon)
