Le sort d’un dictateur, 2010, 69X84 cm JP Mika started drawing at a very young age, after taking courses at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kinshasa and attending the studio of the artist Chéri Chérin, who became his teacher. The paintings in this edition are from this period by the artist. In which the themes of nature, legends, social and political problems of Kinshasa are a leitmotiv. With time, he perfected his technique and developed his own style. Exceptional draughtsman, his painting focuses on portraiture, simplifying the setting and using canvas with very colourful motifs as backgrounds. This "discovery" and the perfect use of colour give a very positive energy to his work. His compositions are very realistic and regardless of the topic, he paints a modern, dynamic and happy Africa with softness and tenderness. Note : un certificat de la galerie Magnin sera fourni à l’acheteur
