Jean Poulain Art

Jean Poulain was born in 1884 in Katanga, former Belgian Congo. A self-taught artist from an early age, he was in search of all the emotions and beauty of Africa. His love and passion for drawing were amazing. In 1904, he decided to leave the family nucleus to jump and experience the wonders of Africa. He went on to explore the territory of Congo, which was then under the rule of King Leopold II of Belgium. In 1912, he participated in the discovery of the African continent. He became a bulimic observer, sketching every nook and cranny. In 1920, he turned a painter, focussed only on animals. He had by then with his wife embarked on a search of large Savannah animals capturing them in their closest attitudes of reality. They traveled across Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Ethiopia, South Africa and many other countries. These travels, his curiosity and humanism helped him meet tribesmen and their secret clans. However, with great humanity, he preferred silence about the locations of these sites in order to preserve their civilization. Many drawings and sketches followed these trips from which he tried to bring out the animal world and, moreover, the tribal world of Africa.

Whispers & Hisses Series: 'In Panic'

Located in New York, NY

This series was inspired by a 1950’s era instruction manual found while clearing out my father’s basement workshop. The How To Light A Model manual employed voluptuous female models to teach lighting techniques to amateur photographers such as my father. Diagrams plot the prescribed direction of the lights. The nude women hold the pose, their lips bright red and their feet dirty from the studio floor. As naked props for the authoritarian photographer, their vulnerability seems palpable. This work visualizes the human condition as a balance between feral and fabricated worlds. Vivid, oversized creatures embody instinctual energy. Wax seals, gold spheres and text-like marks signify rational structures. One speaks in a whisper, the other in a hiss. Winifred McNeill...
