Description of the Work: "La kame de Ma'a clémentine"
Boris Nzebo's Chromatic Labyrinth
"La kame de Ma'a clémentine," created by Boris Nzebo in 2022, is a 120 x 120 cm square canvas. The artist skillfully uses mixed media on canvas to construct a complex visual composition.
The work is characterized by a dense overlapping of elements: dynamic and seemingly random blue and white lines intersect against a background saturated with black and white checkerboard patterns and warm brushstrokes, primarily orange and yellow. This interweaving creates a sense of energy and movement, typical of Nzebo's style, which often explores identity and social space through a visual language that balances abstraction and figurative narrative. The result is a work that invites the viewer to decipher the rhythm and structure hidden within its vibrant chromatic labyrinth.
Currently on display at the Damiani Gallery, "La kame de Ma'a clémentine" is a significant piece that came directly from the artist's studio. The work is officially archived at the Boris Nzebo Archives in Douala, with registration handled by the Damiani Gallery in Bari.
