BodysIsekKing
utopian futuristic artwork by Congolese sculptor.
I loved these sculptures so much, I had to look up the artist and now I love them even more! And Bodys Isek Kingelez seems so cool! His beautiful fantasy cities were conceived as utopian visions of what African cities could be, in a better world without greed and corruption. Inspired by his experience of living in Kinshasa during the dictatorship of Mobutu Sese Seko, when the city was over-developed and under-planned.
This article is a great introduction to him and his work!
The sheer feeling of relief and joy I felt when I approached Bodys Isek Kingelez’ work was almost overwhelming.
