REMED

This summer, in July, I’ve been invited to take part in the exhibition in the MASP (Museum of Art of Sao Paulo), in Brasil.

The show was curated bt Baixo and Eduardo from Choque cultural gallery, together with Danilo from BaseV.

I stayed one month in residency, working in the museum beside SPACE INVADER, JR, SWOON, POINT, DEFI,TEC & CHU.

One of my favorite village was Macumbaya. A village that claim his standing for peace and unity for the whole nation. I read this words written by the brother’s chief on a wall you can see in the village main square.

I’ve been asked by the chief to paint a special wall. The one that any visitor will see while meeting the chief of the village. The guest house.

While in Gambia, during Wide open walls project, I’ve been visiting and painting many villages.

In one of them, Bafaloto, I’ve been creating two paintings. One of them was just a writing saying “Gambia”, with a huge baobab as a background behind thewall.
