Christ Pantocrator

Acrylic on panel, gold leaf — 2017 · Selected works

Christ Pantocrator explores the complexity of the artist's Congolese cultural identity through symbols inherited from the colonial period, whose meaning he shifts. The series takes the Byzantine icon of Christ in majesty as a starting point to question the fate of African masks held in Western museums.
