About the Item
This large contemporary African-inspired mask assemblage is an eye-catcher. The sharp contrast between the bright red and deep blue colors has a powerful visual statement and awakens your senses immediately. It will be a very personal and thrilling curiosity to have hanging.
The sculptural artwork is an assemblage made of mixed media. Within it, you will find horns, fur, claws, an animal skull, hair, feathers, wooden objects, hair, etc. All of it is assembled and mounted on a wooden showcase and topped with a plexiglass box.
The assemblage is made by the internationally celebrated Danish artist and sculptor Jørgen Waring (1938-2022). During his career, his works have been represented at many museums, art fairs, and galleries ranging from New York to Oklahoma, Switzerland, Paris, etc.. One highlight of his career was his exhibition period 1984-1988 in New York at the Gallery ARRAS (“Trump Tower”) which attracted many buyers of his works that among others counted celebrities such as Roger More, Frank Sinatra, and Donald Trump.
Much inspiration for his works was derived from Africa (Kenya) where he enjoyed a lot of his leisure time. He was especially interested in the large wildlife and for many years he was employed as a guide for safaris.
We have chosen to add pictures of the assemblage with a spotlight on it as well as without any artificial light to give a sense of how powerful the colors are independent of lighting methods.
The condition of the artwork is great. The original plexiglass box has a few scratches that are consistent with its age and natural wear but they are generally not noticeable unless specifically scouting for them close up.

Kuba Mask African Bwoom Tribal Congo in Wood, Vibrates Vegetables, Animal Hair
Located in Milano, IT
The African Kuba Bwoom tribal mask is the oldest known mask, the Kuba bwoom mask. The materials used for the realization of the Mask are: Wood, colors and vibrates plants, caures, beads, animal hair. In dance it expresses exuberance and joy. The style is similar to that of the middle Kasai. This mask is a helmet with animal hair, carved with a very wide forehead and hollow cheeks that are announced by motifs or dashes and beads. The mouth of the mask is very pronounced carved in wood and then applied on the mask. To distinguish the forehead in different areas are used black and white beads to draw attention to other aspects of the face such as the nose and chin. The entire edge of the chin is surrounded by beads of various colors. The person wearing the mask cannot look because there are no holes for the eyes present; the mask must create the feeling of being blind. Some masks similar to the bwoom mask include the funny mask, the ram mask and initiation masks such as Nnup.
