MBUTI BARKCLOTH PAINTINGS |
an exhibition of barkcloth paintings by the Mbuti people of the Ituri rain forest, north east Congo. After having been invited to do an exhibition on 'boucherouite' rag rugs from Morocco in late 2010/early 2011 this had been the second time that I had the honour of exhibiting at the Douglas Hyde Gallery, a very well respected institution in the field of contemporary art. The collection of 32 carefully chosen Mbuti loincloth textiles has been built over a period of more than 6 years + shows a wide variety of rare design types + objects of great artistic expression.
