Contemporary Art Exhibiton

Immerse yourself in the vibrant world of contemporary art at the Afriques@AuxGazelles festival this August.

Eshinlokun Wasiu (b.1998) is a Surrealist artist. His work explores the way societal pressures force us to present inauthentic selves bound by fear, guilt, despondency, anxiety or a need to please. The exaggerated positioning of his silhouetted figures , juxtaposed with bold braids of tape, creates an uncanny visual metaphor which represents with universal state of being. With his work he encourages us to access a free way of living, unbound by fear of being judges societally. This concept of universal feeling drives much of his current practice.
