From remote Central Africa, Cameroon artist Angu Walters already had a real hard time trying to emerge from obscurity and now there’s a civil war going on centered in his own city of Bamenda. Happily, he has American friends who look out for him. Originals and top quality giclee prints are available to be delivered from the USA. Angu Walters was born in 1980, native of Nsongwa in the Mezam Division of the North West Province of Cameroon. Apart from being a fine artist he also sings with the “Melting Age Band, MAB” in the company of the late Spee. He likes traditional African music. His interest in painting started when he was a boy experimenting with ink from different pen colors, mixed and applied them on torn cardboards, which were sometimes hung on the walls of his mother’s sitting room. His mother invited Spee, a very famous artist to show him what the child was doing with the materials he could find in his milieu, thereafter the artist took him to his workshop, under his guidance so to better improve on his skills. Since then, he has had a professional revolution with much inspiration drawn from his fine arts mentor. His works express surrealism because he believes that his dreams are inspirational to his life and works. He titles his favorite painting “The Happy Family” because to him, the family is the foundation on which a successful professional and matrimonial life is built. He has trained five fine artists whom he says are excelling in the profession. Although artist are not very appreciated in Cameroonian society. One of his dreams is to set up an art center/school in Bamenda in support of Cameroonian painters trying to make a career out of tiger art.
