Aboudia

b. 1983, Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire · Ivorian

Aboudia, born Abdoulaye Diarrassouba, developed a raw painting language from graffiti, street drawing, collage and the visual culture of Abidjan. Paintings made during the 2010–11 Ivorian conflict brought international attention, though the practice extends well beyond wartime imagery.

Painting; drawing; collage
