Carved and patinated wooden mask, representing a buffalo hea - Lot 314
Carved and patinated wooden mask, representing a buffalo head Mama. Nigeria Height: 47 cm Expert Mr Stéphane Mangin Provenance: Collection of the painter François Bouillon. François Bouillon taught at the École nationale supérieure d'art de Dijon and then at the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts de Paris. A self-taught artist, as a child he frequented the studio of his painter grandfather, then collected African and Oceanic art objects. Through his many travels, he became interested in the primitive signs and symbols of a universal culture. Using a variety of techniques (drawing, painting, reworked photography, sculpture, installation, etc.), "primitive" elements (stone, earth, fire, feather, bone, tree branch, metal, traces) and recurring forms (spiral, point, cone, cross, inversions, etc.), he creates a body of work in which the manufacturing process plays a key role. For François Bouillon, contemporary artist and collector of primitive art, the modern gesture cannot be separated from a primitive imprint. It is accompanied by a search for origin which, beyond historical and cultural developments, brings us back to the most naked of human beings.
