Creature sculpture by the Cameroonian artist Joseph-Francis Sumégné, “Les empreintes de l'égaré” (“The Footprints of the Lost,” 2013), in the “Les Éclaireurs” in Avignon (at Palais des Papes - Avignon)
The fusion of found objects, linked with copper wire and stitches that he invents, confronts the challenge of the free volume. Concretizing his desires, pains, passions, indignation, and dreams through his sculptures, Sumégné invents his philosophy and his technique of JALA'A to manifest and magnify self-transcendence. The topics addressed by Sumégné are multiple: masks and characters of traditional powers, men and women on the move (dancers, pushed-pushers), and scenes out of his daily environment.
