Aboudramane DOUMBOUYA (1961) - Lot 147
Aboudramane DOUMBOUYA (1961) 4th Passenger (n°67), 1994 Height 186 cm Provenance: Maine DURIEU Collection Born in Abidjan in 1961, Aboudramane learned the cabinetmaking trade at the age of 15. In 1984, he emigrated to Italy, before settling in Paris in 1988. His meeting with Swedish artist Gösta Claesson, who introduced him to Tinguely, Cornell and Calder, encouraged him to take up sculpture. He built his first "maquette", a village made of wood, earth, raffia and other natural materials, the first of a long series of works entitled "sculptures-mémoire". "Miniature temples, these sculptures contain small personal objects, bearers of childhood memories, "treasures" nourished by Aboudramane's affection for what they remind him of. Like a "magician of dreams", according to art critic Jean-Louis Pinte, he creates this imaginary world, full of poetry. In 1990, he exhibited his work for the first time at the Galerie Maine Durieu in Paris. In 1992, the famous designer Andrée Putman invited him to present his work in the garden of the Hôtel Sully in Paris. He subsequently held numerous solo and group exhibitions in Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, Munich, Berlin, Tokyo, Johannesburg, Dakar, Baltimore and, in 1993, at the Museum for African Art in New York with Bodys Isek Kingelez.
