MAMBU MANZAMBI (1944-2019)
Belgian artist, of Zairean origin (Congo). "The plastic rendering of his creations is characterized by the simplicity of its naturalism and the play of mass and filiform punctuated by edges. The representation of women, often with children, is one of his favourite themes. It is also often very open to abstraction."
