Eco Systeme
YEANZI
24.12.2022 – 25.02.2023
Through a corpus of figurative works, the artist invites us to discover a new humanistic and philosophical opus.
ECO SYSTEME, developed during the artist’s residencies at Jardin Rouge, questions the human being and the way he inhabits the world. In an anthropological approach, he questions the notion of identity, a timeless, general and major problematic intimately related to Mankind and his evolution.
Deeply influenced by the socio-cultural profusion that the African continent is experiencing, he emphasizes scenes of life in different African cities: Abidjan, Bingerville, Marrakech… by roaming the streets and collecting the stories of each. These meetings reveal what the artist considers to be real personalities and provide an insight into the richness and diversity of African urban identities.
As an observer, YEANZI considers Man as a complex being, he seeks to dissect, analyze and understand him, in order to understand our humanity. The portrait emerges from an aesthetic will where the artist manifests the desire to examine his subject as well as all the elements and factors that influence its development, then a determination to put a critical eye on such existential reflections, hoping to reach elements of answers to both individual and universal human questioning.
