African Futurist Silver Mask Created by Bomber Bax
About the Item
Eccentric African mask and unique piece created by artist Bomber Bax. Rare and unique piece made by the artist. The mask dates back to the early 1900s and was processed and painted in late 2022 by the artist.
The artist used special, metallic paints intended to evoke a lunar effect and draw attention to a futuristic, Martian landscape. In addition to the wonderful paints, the mask has shapes typical from the workings of African tribes. Note to note are the shape of the hollowed out eyes, which in African symbolism, denotes looking into the afterlife after death. The mask is made with a double varnish. The first layer is painted with a metallic silver metallic paint, while the lines and lips are in fiery red paint.
The mask is the perfect complement to eccentric living rooms where art and eccentric tribal-style decor take center stage.
