MWENZE KIBWANGA [Kilumba (DRC), 1925-1999, Lubumbashi (DRC)] - Lot 16
MWENZE KIBWANGA [Kilumba (DRC), 1925-1999, Lubumbashi (DRC)] (Untitled) Tavern scene Oil on canvas. 80 x 100 cm. Signed and dated 63 lower right. Provenance: Private collection, ex-Pierre Loos collection Mwenze Kibwanga, born in 1925 in Kilumba, Katanga province. In 1934, he began attending classes at the Protestant mission in Mwanza, where he also took drawing lessons. He left the village in 1942 to settle in Elisabethville, where he continued his basic education with the Methodists. In 1950, Kibwanga joined the Atelier du Hangar, founded by the French painter Romain-Desfossés. There, he developed his style, bringing his subjects to life with a technique of hatching and parallel lines alternating between light and dark tones that follow the shapes of people, animals and vegetation.
