ANGALIA

BOOTH C14

Angalia was founded in 2011. The gallery exclusively presents visual artists living and working in Congo – Kinshasa. This specialization reflects a strategy based on close attention to and regular engagement with the artists. Pierre Daubert, director of Angalia, has been cultivating these relationships for twenty years with regular visits to Kinshasa.

Artists presented at AKAA 2022:
Amani Bodo, Ngule Freeman, Gosette Lubondo, Gaël Maski

Amani Bodo +

Born in Kinshasa (DR Congo) in 1988, Amani Bodo lives in Kinshasa. Having tried his hand at the popular style, Amani found his way with a figurative and symbolic style with a surrealist feel. Bodo depicts his ideasand visions on canvas. Alongside these works with a serious and grave tone, he produces joyful paintings, in which irony battles the burlesque. He is particularly master in the art of painting sapeurs (dandies). Amani calls the backgrounds of his canvases “mwangisa”, referring to the rash of flecked colours, a cosmic nebula which immediately grabs the attention and contributes to the dazzling yet mysterious feel of his works.

Ngule Freeman +

Born in Kinshasa (DR Congo) in 1999. He lives in Kinshasa. Ngule is a self-taught artist who started to earn a living in 2016 by doing portraits on request. He tried his hand at painting during the same year, but without any joy. So Ngule picked up his graphite pencils and charcoal again. In 2019, he started a series on Congolese society in which he depicts, in his hyperrealist fashion, the wide variety of feelings and ways of life of young people in Kinshasa: addiction, jealousy, their search for an identity, etc. At the same time, in 2021 he began a series of portraits of internationally renowned Congolese artists. AKAA will be the first time his work has been shown at an art fair in Europe..

Gosette Lubondo +

Born in 1993 in Kinshasa (DR Congo), Gosette Lubondo lives in Kinshasa. Gosette is a photographer whose work is a reflection on memory, heritage and time. Her successful two series, Imaginary Trip I and II, are set in a disused train in Kinshasa railway station (2016), and an abandoned school in Kongo central (2018). She depicts imaginary people in both cases. Exhibited in 2020 at the musée du quai Branly-Jacques Chirac as part of the collective A toi appartient le regard (...) exhibition, in 2021 Gosette was awarded the Maison Ruinart Photography Prize at Paris Photo. Her latest series is ongoing and is called Terre de lait, terre de miel. Here, the photographer takes us to Gbadolite, the “Versailles of the Jungle”.

Gaël Maski +

Maski was born in 1990 in Kalemie (DR Congo) and lives in Kinshasa. He focuses on marginalised and voiceless people. He interviews and photographs them, then prints out the photos on plain paper and cuts them up. Then comes the “recreation” phase: he uses fragments of real life to create new scenes, which he enhances with allegories and symbols, in a sense using the magic of the imagination to try to transcend the social reality of Kinshasa. In 2021-2022, Gaël’s work was shown at Jeffrey Deitch, Los Angeles, as part of the Self-Addressed group exhibition curated by Kehinde Wiley.
