Christian Badibanga (aka 'Ba') [Kinshasa (DRC), 1987, lives - Lot 139
Christian Badibanga (aka 'Ba') [Kinshasa (DRC), 1987, lives & works in Kinshasa] The new black is orange 1. Mixed media, acrylic on canvas, inlaid buttons. 70 x 49 cm. Signed and dated 2025 upper right. Provenance: Artist's studio. Christian BADIBANGA, also known as "Ba" graduated from Fine Arts School of Kinshasa. Ba created a contemporary abstract aesthetic art outside the academic conventional figure painting. By lack of money, he uses spilled coffee, glue, and black oil paint on his canvases but mostly, he learns to sew recycled buttons collected by chance on local markets. Ba shows a Bantu symbolism and sometimes a universal expression through his anthropoid shapes and figures, sewing his buttons in spirals, giving material, volume, and color to his paintings. His unfinished lines represent infinity, the ups-and-downs in our lives but mostly in his.
