plan for an exhibition : paying homage to endangered gorillas I have painted 200 small "portraits" of gorillas to refer to the Cross River gorilla (Nigeria and Cameroon), a subspecies of the western gorilla. Today there are probably about 200 individuals left in the wild and they will inevitably disappear. Thus this work represents a symbolic conservation measure for this animal in an attempt to make people aware of the looming extinction. What I would like to do: to exhibit 200 portraits of gorillas, each 24 x 30 cm Each canvas will be hanging on a black band, evocative of mourning. The hanging scheme depends on the place, but the idea will be the same: the viewer has to feel surrounded, observed and even shut up. In a small place they will cover the walls from top to bottom. In a large place they will be hanging in one horizontal line, in a continuous circle if possible. Feel free to contact me for any exhibition proposal!
