Abdoul-Ganiou Dermani, born 1973 Togo, now living in Stuttgart, Germany. A strong sense of spiritual convergence graces Abdoul colourful paintings of communal ritual and dance. These stylized works of elegant indivuals in vibrant, patterned garb, gathered in ceremonial celebration of a rich earth, underneath vivacious, mystical skies, are odes to the richness of community. Tribal gatherings of import and intensity, ritual drumming, and spirited dancing characterize this World. Recalling the works of Jacob Lawrence, the Neo-Mannerism of Ernie Barns, and the rich colours and lyrical flow and Fauvits such as Matisse, Dermani creates a cultural panorama.
