Armand Boua celebrates the unseen!

Boua's work has been notably selected for the Dakar Biennale in 2010 and 2022, as well as the Venice Biennale in 2022. His pieces find residence in prestigious collections worldwide, including the Minneapolis Institute of Art, the Mohammed VI Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rabat, Morocco, the Saatchi Gallery in the UK, the Fraries Suss Collection in Hong Kong, the Tiroche DeLeon Collection in Israel, the Montresso Foundation in Morocco, and numerous private collections globally.

In recent years, Boua has been showcased individually at renowned venues such as the Jack Bell Gallery (London),  Lars Kristian Bode Gallery (Hamburg), Galerie Cécile Fakhoury (Dakar and Abidjan), Ethan Cohen Gallery (New York)  and the Montresso Foundation (Morocco).

Boua's art, primarily painting on cardboard with acrylic, reflects urban landscapes, capturing urban youth's essence through nuanced representation and partial abstraction. His works, addressing marginalized figures like street children, prompt reflection on societal neglect.

Boua's achievements extend beyond art; his series on "MANAWA" laborers in Abidjan evokes empathy and introspection, urging viewers to acknowledge unseen struggles in urban environments. His art transcends commentary, challenging societal injustices and advocating for recognition of the humanity in these overlooked youth.

Armand Boua's evocative works compel action, inviting us to confront urban injustices and affirm the dignity of marginalized youth.
