About the Item

Ydaco is from the Betammaribe culture in Benin. He lives in a small village in the Atakora mountains. His cheek bones provide the perfect surface for the beautifully intricate scarification of his tribe and display the craft of a master artist. The detailed scarring was completed when he was an infant. John Kenny’s work is all shot on location in some of the remotest corners of Africa. His images are all taken with natural light and his subjects in their day to day attire. The C-type prints are mounted with an acrylic face mount giving them a 3-dimensional appearance and a contemporary look. Edition of 3 Presentation: C-type acrylic face mounted print Signed by the Artist Certificate of Authenticity Country: Benin Culture: Betammaribe Year: 2008 Frame: Acrylic face-mounted Size: 54" x 36"
