La mostra multimediale“CARREFOUR SPIRITUEL”, è aperta da martedi a sabato, dalle 10:00 alle 18:00 al Espace doual’art, place du Gouvernement, Bonanjo.

Cette exposition s’inscrit dans le cadre de son projet label ART, qui a pour thème “RECONNEXION“.

“CARREFOUR SPIRITUEL” parce qu’entre crises existentielles, écologiques, conflits inter-religieux, remise en cause de dogmes, nos sociétés contemporaines se trouvent à la croisée des chemins.

Entre performance, dessin, photographie, peinture, sculture, création textile, installation, 06 artistes nous présent leurs visions et leurs sensibilités sur la spiritualité.

En effet, comment retrouver le sens du sacré? Est-il possible de retrouver cette connexion avec la Nature? L’individu comme le collectif peuvent-ils s’ établir dans des rapports plus harmonieux? Au-delà de réalisations artistiques , la démarche ici est de revisiter et questionner les liens, que nous entretenons avec le spirituel au quotidien.

BIOGRAPHY MERVEILLE KELEKELE KELEKELE

Studio portrait of artist Merveille Kelekele Kelekele. Photo credits: Tinko Czetwertynski.

Merveille Kelekele Kelekele’s (b 2001, Democratic Republic of the Congo), paintings depict the crossing over our dreams into waking hours. Raised in the Congo until the age of nine, Kelekele, Kelekele experienced constant national and familial displacement, having moved between homes across Europe every few years. Kelekele Kelekele’s paintings draw inspiration from his awareness of metaphysical creatures, amorphous in shape and indeterminate in size, that accompanied him through his adolescent journey. His life’s journey, spanning multiple continents and experiences, is encapsulated in the canvases, and often augmented by personal objects. Kelekele Kelekele doesn’t just paint he orchestrates an environment where the viewer becomes an active participant in the unfolding narrative.

His work functions as a journey not just into his own psyche but into a collective consciousness, fusing nightmare and dreams into a rich tapestry pf monsters, souls, and creatures. Surreal, spindly creatures are set within washed natural – tone backdrops reminiscent of the pervasive, red sands from his early years in Africa. Conveying the visceral presence of these creatures within his own daily life, Keleke Kelekele often appropriates personal objects into his nightmarish tableus, such as his beloved Kofia hats and necklaces. Present (and sometimes hidden) within each of his paintings is a seemingly aloof version of the Kelekele with a companion crow, both painted tiny in scale. Despite, the magnanimous quality of these methaphysical creatures, Kelekele broaches quietly an individual’s ability to either surmount and manifest hallucinations, nightmares, hopes and dreams. In a world he describes as a ” great machine” careening perhaps toward its own undoing, Kelekele Kelekele’s work offers a momentary pause, a space for reflection and reorientation.
