Origins and History

Contemporary African drawings refer to a wide range of artistic expressions that have emerged in Africa in the modern era. The origin of these drawings can be traced back to the early 20th century, when African artists began to experiment with new styles and techniques that were influenced by both traditional African art and Western artistic traditions. The period of decolonization in the 1950s and 1960s was a particularly important time for African art, as artists sought to express their cultural identity and assert their independence through their work.

Notable contemporary Africa Drawings

Contemporary African art is a vibrant and diverse field that reflects the rich culture and history of the continent. Some well-known contemporary African drawings include the following:

  1. "The Man Who Saved the World," by Nigerian artist Victor Ekpuk, created in 2017. This intricate drawing features a central figure with outstretched arms, surrounded by a complex web of symbols and patterns. Ekpuk’s work is known for its use of Nsibidi, a traditional writing system from southeastern Nigeria.

  2. "Ode to Joy," by South African artist William Kentridge, created in 2015. This large-scale charcoal drawing depicts a group of musicians playing instruments against a backdrop of swirling lines and shapes. Kentridge is known for his politically charged work that addresses issues of race, identity, and social justice.

  3. "Lost Wax," by Ghanaian artist El Anatsui, created in 2015. This striking mixed-media piece is made up of thousands of small metal bottle caps, woven together to create a shimmering tapestry. Anatsui’s work often explores themes of recycling, transformation, and the impact of globalization on African culture.

  4. "The Messenger," by Congolese artist Chéri Samba, created in 2014. This colorful acrylic painting features a figure holding a megaphone, surrounded by a chaotic scene of people and buildings. Samba’s work often addresses issues of political corruption, poverty, and the struggle for democracy in Africa.

  5. "Papa, Maman et bébé," by Senegalese artist Ousmane Sow, created in 2012. This powerful sculpture depicts a family of three, made from bronze and resin. Sow’s work often focuses on the human form, and he is known for his larger-than-life sculptures of African leaders, athletes, and cultural icons.

These works of contemporary African art showcase the diversity and complexity of the continent’s artistic traditions, and demonstrate the ongoing relevance of African art on the global stage.
