feature: see serge kponton black&white series ‘unmasked’

“The title “Unmasked” stands for the paradox of my artistic concept. When I create patterns and signs on my muse’s body, she is the subject to a transitory transformation. She changes her appearance and gives up her social mask, the one that gives her the necessary cover to facilitate a seamless blending and social acceptance. She can then embrace this new body language and unveil her extraordinary self, her singularity, her character, her strengths and weaknesses, her influences and her inspirations. All of which are the building blocks of her very identity,” says Kponton.

“Unmasked” is an on-going project that has taken the Paris-based artist to New York and Rio de Janeiro. Check it out below.
