BELA SARA (Chad, 1940-1968, Brazzaville) - Lot 13
BELA SARA (Chad, 1940-1968, Brazzaville) (Untitled) Fish Oil on canvas. 35 x 51.5 cm. Signed lower right, framed. Bela is one of the best-known members of the Lubumbashi painting studio. This workshop was founded by Pierre Romain-Desfossés in the late 1940s, under the name "Le Hangar", within the Académie d'Art Indigène. His originality lies in the fact that he paints with his fingers, without using a pencil. This lends his art a freshness and spontaneity that make it so appealing. What's more, this technique has a decorative effect. The artist's favorite themes are incredible fish and aquatic scenes. Wild animals are also often depicted, whether grazing peacefully or being hunted by man. There are also initiation scenes, sometimes whimsical, depicting humorous nocturnal moments.
