About
This square abstract mixed media artwork on canvas by Togolese artist Kodjovi features a heavily textured, monochromatic composition in a pale seafoam green. The piece incorporates collage elements, including an additional piece of wrinkled canvas attached directly to the surface. Near the upper left, a small, square fabric patch stands out, coated in a thick layer of textured mustard yellow paint with a single small drip of bright red at its bottom edge.
The overall surface is highly tactile, covered in thick ridges, physical folds, and deep valleys of paint. Subtle washes of turquoise and teal are visible in the upper right corner and along the right border, adding depth to the cool-toned background. Speckles of earthy brown and gold are scattered lightly across the central wrinkled collage section, accentuating its raw, dimensional look.
The artwork is signed by the artist on the back of the canvas, comes wired, and is ready for hanging. A gallery Certificate of Authenticity is provided with the painting. Convenient 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.
