Aboudia—Light & Dark examines Aboudia’s (b. 1983 Abidjan, Ivory Coast) multilayered paintings, suggestive of the vivid, complicated pageant of contemporary Africa. Aboudia’s visions of Light & Dark suggest aesthetic redemption with the possibilities of transforming chaos into vitality, painful events into a renewable hope.
On Friday, April 7, The Cambridge School of Weston will specially honor Aboudia for the vital way in which his paintings contribute to the intersectionality of art and the work of social justice. The reception is open to the public and runs from 4-7 p.m.
