ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Abfillage is an intricate technique and a body of works by Prosper Aluu which began in the mid 2022. The term "Abfillage" can be seen as a portmanteau of "Abstract", "figure" and "collage" which refers to an exquisitely made artwork that involves the painting of a figure on a newspaper or magazine collage on canvas or paper that has been decorated with colors. These figures are mostly painted with some or all of the attires neglected. The purpose of Abfillage is mostly to preserve the written stories or actions of the present in the artwork and sometimes highlight it's effects and actions in figurative forms. The beautiful application of colors on the texts is intended to mollify some of the negative stories and happenings within. He believes, inorder to preserve culture, he must continue to create it hence the process. Mercurial Abfillage figuratively describes the psychological effects of bad governance, political, social and economic instability on the mental state of the people dwelling in the geographical region. It explores themes of anxiety, depression, self-hate, self-harm and other mental and physical states reflected in these powerful works.
