About
Kodjovi applies thick layers of paint and adds pieces of extra canvas directly to the surface to build a rough, physical texture. His paintings combine heavy textures and energetic marks with calmer, flat areas of color underneath. This contrast between the central circular shape and the busy background focuses on the balance between movement and stillness, creating a direct visual layout that fills a large wall space.
This 72x60 inch abstract artwork on canvas by Togolese artist Kodjovi is a mixed media painting created with acrylic paint, oil pastels, layers of canvas, and other media. The vertical composition centers around a large, sweeping oval shape made from heavy strokes of black and gray paint. Enclosing this central area is a circular ring of bright green, yellow, and orange lines. Inside the dark framing lines, a solid patch of bright pink paint stands out against a textured blue background filled with white drips, paint splatters, and small blocks of color.
The artwork is signed by the artist on the back of the canvas, comes wired, and is ready for hanging. A Certificate of Authenticity provided by the art gallery is included. Free local delivery is available in the Los Angeles area, and affordable shipping is available across the United States and internationally.
Kodjovi grew up in Lomé, Togo, where he first created art using salvaged construction materials before moving on to mixed-media, collage, acrylics, and oils. He moved to Paris in 2001 and then relocated to the United States in 2003. His paintings have been shown at Art Basel Miami, recognized by Red Dot Miami, and featured in interviews with the BBC, France 2, and TV5Monde.
