SUMMARY:Exhibition opening: Anaphora / Anaphore
DESCRIPTION:&nbsp\;\nWe are happy to announce our June exhibition: Anaphora
  / Anaphore by Patrick Tankama.\n&nbsp\;\nAbout the artist:\n\nAs a visual
  artist\, Patrick Tankama's work is informed by architecture\, object desi
 gn\, the world of fashion\, illustration and pin-up art. His intricately m
 ulti-layered creative processes\, revolve around anaphora\, metaphor and h
 yperbola among many other subtle ingredients.\n\nAnaphora\, through the re
 curring presence of towering characters\, often drawn from behind and from
  a low-angle shot.\n\nMetaphor\, through an aesthetic re-configuration of 
 human and its essence that embodies the “otherly” anatomy and hyperbol
 a\, through the use of perspectives\, at time aesthetically stretched\, an
 d unconventional posture.\n\nFemale bodies that he represents\, carry a sy
 mbolic degree : they refer to "the eternal feminine"\, in other words the 
 archetype of desirable female\, perhaps best represented today by the sedu
 ctive socialite\, TikTok or Instagram users.\n\nOn a more personal level\,
  shall we say autobiographical\, the characters he creates\, often erected
  vertically\, seem to stem from the pipes (chimneys) from Lubumbashi’s m
 etallurgical plants\, phallic symbol from the mining zone where he was bor
 n.\n\nAesthetically it evokes androgynous entities\, or at least they are 
 potentially.\n\nTankama has a penchant for minimalist and uncluttered back
 grounds that he uses as backdrops against which the bodies stand out like 
 a 2-D sculptural representation.\n\n À jeudi ! \n\nExhibition from 6 July
  to 1 August.\n\nOpening: 6pm - 8.30pm\nMonday - Friday: 10am - 5.45pm
