We present a solo exhibition "Dawn."
Sesse's focus is on topics that include identity, community development, and personal growth. In this series, the structure and combination of multiple realities; portrait, landscape, and still life are positioned to create a dialogue between the Black experience in Africa and the Black experience in the African Diaspora. The scenes in this body of work are from his new environment. The richness in skin tone of his figures is more amplified and his subjects are positioned with confidence and valor. His signature use of asymmetry in the eyes of his subjects remains. The larger eye is a symbol of enlightenment. The large eye encourages his viewers to ask themselves challenging questions, to be more aware of their innate wisdom, and to mobilize in the pursuit of a better tomorrow. Sesse Elangwe is a self-taught artist, who has been practicing professionally for over eight years. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Political Science from the University of Buea in Cameroon. He has participated in over 20 exhibitions that span four continents: Africa, Europe, North America, and Australia. Sesse creates compelling paintings based on his digested response to personal and communal encounters, that reflect his cultural and socio-political environment. Drawing aesthetics from realism, pop art and surrealism, Sesse employs portraiture to acutely record some of the situations experienced by the Black community globally. Works by Sesse are in prestigious private collections across the globe. Opening Date: January 29th, 2022. 12:00 pm to 6:00 PM. Public Viewing January 29th to February 10th Address: 2101 Winter Street, Houston, TX. 77077 https://mitochondriagallery.com/ End
