Ajarb Bernard ATEGWA (born 1988). "I am Charlie". Acrylic on canvas signed lower left. Height : 123 cm - Width : 122 cm Note : Cameroonian artist, currently living in Douala, the economic capital of Cameroon, he draws his inspiration from his city life, its transformations and its colors mixing chaos and harmony. The symbolism of colors is very personal to him. He explains: "Blue evokes the sea and refers to coastal towns like Douala, Kribi and Limbe. Yellow evokes the sun and refers to the north of Cameroon (...) Bathed in these colors, my characters embody the reality of the environment in which they live. By depicting them in this way, I seek to free them from the difficulties of their daily lives, concentrating instead on moments of joy and solidarity." Represented by London's Jack Bell Gallery, he has recently exhibited in Berlin and Paris at the Afikaris gallery.
