Portrait of Ajarb Bernard Ategwa
Coffee, produce, carts, and arms reaching to and fro in a world of transparent vivaciousness on a canvas by Camaroonian artist Ajarb Bernard Ategwa creates an urge of two sorts. One would be to step in the scene, (they are beautifully made to scale) and enjoy one moment in the bustle and the other, the antithesis, where one could cast a lingering gaze upon it all, and in that moment notice and appreciate the details, all of the layers not only coming off the canvas directly but from top to bottom, side to side. Your eyes dart as you are transported to Cameroon.
