Franck Asso Art

Ivorian, b. 1992
Franck Asso (b. 1992, Bouaké, Ivory Coast) knew early on that he wanted to pursue a career in the arts. Asso specialized in painting, attaining diplomas from the Technical Center of Applied Arts (CTAA) in Bingerville, and the National School of Fine Arts in Abidjan. He then went on to become an art teacher after obtaining a Certificate of Pedagogical Ability in 2020. Asso portrays scenes from daily life with his works being exhibited in Abidjan and the West African sub-region including Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Asso uses an impressionistic approach to incorporate the traditions of African mats with flatness and fragmentation. He uses recycled materials such as newspaper, pieces of cloth and loincloths to weave his canvas and utilizes ochre tints and warm colours which evoke the warmth, joy and atmosphere of life on the African continent. Asso’s objective is to highlight his culture through the use of this traditional technique and to give it another dimension by creating a bridge between traditional and modern art. His focus revolves around the women and children of the continent, who fill the places of life he represents.

The Dissidents: Discourse on the Golden Mean

By Michael Tole

Located in New Orleans, LA

Michael Tole says of his work… This work draws a connection between the didactic moralizing tendencies of Neo Classicism (represented in the style of the painting) and Modernism (represented in the architectural setting). Though modern art eschews the naturalistic imagery used by Neo Classicists, both movements pursued a self-important, austere, self-consciously masculine aesthetic that they saw as synonymous with virtue. Set in the MoMA courtyard, a passel of men lounge about, regarding a golden statue which looks terribly out of place in this modernist vitrine. The uncomfortable architectural setting, prisonlike and cold, provides a foil for the odalisque-like young men sprawled on hard stone benches and paying homage to the central idol. In my current work, The Revisionist Histories, I am writing letters to art history, literature, and mythology in an attempt to reflect the social changes that have reshaped our society over the past century.  As part of this agenda, I explore the evolution of gender norms, power dynamics, and representation within Western visual culture and what this implies for the negotiation between pleasure, justice, and our culturally specific discourse on beauty.    The seed for The Revisionist Histories was sewn when I caught a glimpse of my preteen daughters watching music videos on their iPad as I chopped veggies for dinner.  Out of the corner of my eye I caught glimpses of music videos featuring Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Katy Perry, and Doja Cat gyrating across the tiny screen.  A better parent might have snatched the iPad away, but I was overcome with hallucinatory visions of this pop diva...
