Un'opera di Victor Fotso Nyie acquistata dal MASP di San Paolo

The Museu de Arte de São Paulo Assis Chateaubriand, Brazil, has acquired Victor Fotso Nyie's work, Malinconia (2020). Victor Fotso Nyie's artistic research focuses on the condition of contemporary African individuals, alienated and suffering due to an unresolved history of enslavement and exploitation. His sculptures, often crafted in ceramic, depict human figures interwoven with elements of daily life, creating a visual language that mirrors the complexity of South African society.

Characterized by symbolic and spiritual dimensions, his works reflect the duality of his experiences in Africa and Europe. This blend generates a nuanced and rich narrative, speaking to both his personal journey and universal human experiences.

The work acquired by the MASP with the generous support of Nádia and Olavo Setubal, portrays an expressive human face, emblematic of Fotso Nyie's exploration of themes of identity and memory. It was exhibited during the latest Venice Biennale curated by Adriano Pedrosa, marking a significant milestone in the artist's career.
