"My creative vision is to awaken consciousness through my art, through the subtle decomposition of body parts in recombined compositions, assemblage and acts of joining, I veil and reveal at the same time”
-Vitshois Bondo-
Vitshois Bondo, born in 1981, is a prominent figure amongst young painters from the Congo. He defines his work as a combination of painting, sculpture, photography and installation. His reflection on the body is at the same time a reflection on society and politics.
With the link between art and fashion being undeniable, Vitshois Bondo's fashionable art inspires and almost enforces deeper thought and exploration.
This blog aims to use Vitshois' notion of veiling and revealing by applying it to society in general and investigating the role of fashion in the veiling and revealing of certain aspects of the body.
