Painting oil on canvas late 20th, signed, 29 x 27 cm. François Amisi is a scholar at the root of different styles of painting. For example, in the "flame" style, the shape of humans, animals and various objects is slightly distorted by the glow generated by flames. In the years 1955-56, he perfected the "bled" style, in which forms are altered by stained glass Always on the lookout for new and innovative techniques and creations, he also perfected in his studio the "chopped" and "cross" patterns. The painter also discovered what experts called the "whirlwind" style, which symbolised through movement the liveliness of the everyday life of men and women. This is why we also find in the painter's work scenes of dancing or hunting or even the hustle and bustle of crowded markets He also depicts animals in freedom and objects such as masks, whose diversity of expression recalls the supernatural dimension of ancestral cults Amisi's colourful universe gives life to sparkling works, full of charm, intensity and movement, which bring to life the many facets of the Congo. In his vibrant work, he succeeds in making tradition universal through his unique and timeless style.
