Wafrica: In Search of a Third Aesthetic

Marubeni Gallery
Finished

Artists

Serge Mouangue
This first solo exhibition in Japan by Serge Mouangue, a Paris-based contemporary artist from Cameroon, presents exciting new visions of cultural affinities between Japan and Africa, a bold collection of sculptural and wearable expressions that transcend tradition toward a "Third Aesthetic." Artworks include traditional African masks re-imagined in Japanese lacquer, kimonos crafted in African fabrics, and major figurative installations- as well as several pieces specially made for this exhibition.

In sum, this exhibition highlighting the inner affinity of Japanese and African cultures aims to give expression to the Marubeni Gallery concept of "a space where beauty old and new, East and West resonate."
