Painted statuettes cover a wide variety of areas in Africa.

Contrary to what is said according to some sources, they are not intended to ridicule the “white man”. By appropriating the power of the colonist, presented with an accessory of European origin, they participate fully in the animist cult.

There is no need to be keen on the culture of African societies or to love traditional art. This is one of the specificities of this expression of “Colonial Art”. The touching and endearing side, laughter, awakens the fiber of the child that lies dormant in each of us. Reflective statuettes, hinge statuettes, they express a whole slice of history, and even for those who can dream a little, a whole slice of the future.
