Aboudia created this painting, Tête de Bit, using mixed media on canvas. It is reminiscent of art brut, and channels the energy of urban life in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, where the artist lives and works. Aboudia’s paintings give visual form to the experiences of marginalized youth. His work is a response to the political instability and violence he witnessed in his country. The raw, frenetic energy of the marks and figures in Tête de Bit captures the chaotic intensity of street life. His art is deeply connected to his own identity and history. He has said of his work, "I paint what I see, what I live.” The painting is a testament to the resilience and creativity of young people navigating difficult circumstances. Aboudia’s distinctive style has garnered international attention, offering a powerful perspective on contemporary African life. The emotional depth and raw expression in Tête de Bit invite us to reflect on the human condition amidst social and political unrest.
