Dynamic and abstract figurative artworks come to life through the hands of Amadou Opa Bathily, an artist deeply connected to movement. Born in Bamako in 1987, his journey into the world of art began in the lively setting of an art recycling workshop. Graduating with top honors from the National Institute of Arts (INA) and the Balla Fasséké Kouyaté Multimedia Arts and Crafts Conservatory (CAMM-BFK) in Bamako in 2015, Bathily's art captures the essence of movement and fabric in his textural original artworks. • One-of-a-kind textural mixed media artwork on canvas measuring 53 inches square • Woven surface with pronounced depth and intricate detail • Wired and ready to hang • Signed by the artist on the front and signed and titled on the back • Certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included • Convenient local Los Angeles area delivery • Affordable U.S. and international shipping available His creations are a harmonious blend of hard and flexible materials, where the artist's hand meets the intricacies of the materials. Bathily's work has graced numerous group exhibitions, including the "Art de la lumière" exhibition in Tunisia. He's part of the Kôrè-qualité II art development program and was honored as a laureate of the National City Talent Competition in 2017. Working across various mediums, from painting to sculpture and installation, Bathily's art is a celebration of life's rhythm. It's a dynamic fusion of tradition and innovation, where fabrics become the canvas for human playfulness, journeys, and wanderings.
