Le Mendiant
2014
A figure emerges from layers of tar and acrylic on cardboard, Armand Boua using the raw, humble material of the street to give form to a beggar's solitary existence. The viscous darkness of the tar lends a weighty, textured presence to the composition, grounding the subject in a world of grit and survival. Boua transforms discarded cardboard into a canvas of dignity, inviting reflection on poverty, visibility, and the human condition in contemporary African urban life.
