New Era (2009-14) suggests a fiction about a world where man passes spiritually taciturn ways in which predominates despair with the desire for liberation and transcendence. The series evokes the malaise of a society in which man is constantly faced with his own evil and overcomes their fears. The images evoke the metaphor of the spiral that renews what withers and blooms again and again, before a symbolic -and distant, quasi-futurist rebirth of man.

Mirror Study (2017) Those works are part of “Figures, Grounds and Studies,” Paul Mpagi Sepuya current project which “lays bare an interdependent formal relationship between my gaze, the subject depicted and the viewer’s (or audience’s) presence within a history of eroticized and racialized photographic constructs.” Sepuya extends beyond traditional studio portraits including photographs of photographs, arranging or collaging two-dimensional works with the material around him ; his work tends to be both abstract and representational. By working with his close circle of friends, he establishes the artist’s studio as a place where life and art intersect and let his aura appear, even when he stays behind the camera.

Lendemains (Group show)
For Material Art Fair 2018, ALMANAQUE presents an ensemble by a new generation of acclaimed artists using photography as the foundation of their artistic production whose works prowl a culture already based in the photo.
Color, staging, abstraction, texture-mimetic and materiality are the triggers to explore our current age determined by the abundance of images and their edges when they flee the screen becoming a print or even a sculpture.
In Lendemains, the fiction intertwines with the reality, with images that underline the metaphor of the apparition or the discovery, as clues of daily scenes that becomes blurrys, almost abstracts.
With works that describe a switch of scale between landscapes and details, as well as the movement of the matiere or the duplication of the image, it comes then to mind that we are witnessing the days following a possible encounter between fantasized universes.
