Banjo Player 2 (2020) 絵画 Angu Walters によって

Angu Walters was born in Nsongwa in the North West Province of Cameroon. Apart from being a fine artist he also performs with the “Melting Age Band, MAB”. He likes traditional African music. 

His interest in painting started when he was a boy experimenting with ink from different pen colors, mixed and applied them on torn cardboards, which hung on the walls of his mother’s sitting room. She invited Spee, a famous Cameroonian-American artist to show him what the child was doing with the materials he could find in his milieu. The artist took him to his workshop and guided him to improve his skills. 

Walters' paintings are mostly in abstract figurative, geometric, and surreal style. His works express surrealism because he believes that his dreams are inspirational to his life and works.

The most common themes are family life and music. Music paintings often feature traditional African instruments like the kora, the mvet, and the sanza. Other times, he paints landscape scenes that represent an idealized vision of African village life. 

In keeping with the pattern set by his own mentor, Walters has taken on a number of students.
