Description
This striking black and white artwork depicts a highly stylized, distorted human face. The composition is centered around a prominent, mask-like visage with exaggerated, angular features. The dominant use of bold, expressive brushstrokes in shades of black creates a sense of depth and texture, conveying a powerful, emotive presence. The abstracted, almost primal nature of the subject matter suggests a focus on the raw, visceral qualities of the human form, rather than realistic representation. This artwork likely reflects the artist's intention to explore themes of human identity, emotion, and the human condition through a unique, unconventional visual language. ...
Elladj Lincy Deloumeaux
B.1995, FrenchBorn in 1995 in the West Indies on the island of Guadeloupe, Elladj Lincy Deloumeaux now lives and works in Paris.

Through his works, the artist explores an open and vibrant approach to the relationship of peoples and imaginary. Elladj Lincy Deloumeaux operates a work of experimentation and documentation, focusing on heritage images, symbolic and Afro-Caribbean spiritualities. The artist focuses on the daily life, mythologies, iconography, beliefs, religious and cultural heritage of the Afro-Caribbean landscape. Evoking a plural identity, Elladj Lincy Deloumeaux tries to analyze, deconstruct and capture its fragments and communicating vessels.

A passage from ignorance to self-knowledge that requires a "killing" of illusions.

Elladj Lincy Deloumeaux graduated from the Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2021. ...
