Non aux viols 2020

"Non aux viols" (2020) by the Ivorian artist Aboudia is a vibrant and chaotic mixed-media artwork. The painting features three figures with simplified, cartoonish features, rendered in bold lines and colors on a textured canvas. Aboudia's signature style, known as "naive art," is evident in the use of bold colors, simple forms, and the repetition of motifs. The title, which translates to "No to rapes," references the artist's commitment to social justice and his use of art to raise awareness about important issues. This work is characteristic of Aboudia's art, which often tackles themes of poverty, violence, and political turmoil in his native Ivory Coast.
