Michaël MVUKANI MPIOLANI

Michaël Mvukani Mpiolani apprehends space as a whole, with backgrounds and foregrounds teeming with detail. His ability to reproduce traffic systems and landscapes with an almost photographic realism is enhanced by the precision of his black and white drawings. When he begins an image, Michaël Mvukani Mpiolani does not draw lines of force or squares: he places one of his felt-tip pens on a corner of the sheet and spreads out his line from that point, without ever deviating from his perspective. Just as musicians have an absolute ear, he has an absolute eye. Fascinated by sprawling cities, his personal imagination is populated by robots, which come in the form of animals or transformers.
