In this collaborative work, Aboudia and Jacobleu use painting and pastel on canvas to create a vivid field of color, graphic tension and mask-like presence. Against a radiant yellow background, the monumental central face and surrounding figures produce an immediate visual impact, giving the work a powerful presence in a contemporary interior.

The piece explores portraiture, urban memory, mysticism and collective energy, reflecting the artists’ shared engagement with the cultural landscape of Ivory Coast. It will particularly appeal to collectors looking for a bold, expressive work that combines strong chromatic intensity with the rare force of an artistic dialogue between two major Ivorian voices.

Given Aboudia’s established international visibility and the singular character of this collaboration with Jacobleu, the work offers a particularly compelling proposition for collectors looking for a distinctive, accessible and visually powerful addition to a contemporary African art collection.
