Vivien Tapsoba, a self-taught contemporary painter from Burkina Faso, channels both formal training and raw instinct. He employs a mixed media technique, wavering between the figurative world and expressionism, and masterfully reconstructs figures and forms by erasing and re-drawing. His canvases, often left untitled, are poignant encapsulations of daily life and current events, narrating living stories that bristle with emotion and ambiguity.
