Iriée Zamblé
Paint
Expressively painted figures of self-confident black people play the leading role in the work of Iriée Zamblé. Zamblé puts a magnifying glass on some of the passers-by who pass us daily, but are underrepresented in Dutch painting. Acquaintances, passers-by and friends form the basis of the paintings. Appropriating details of their appearance, a new, bold and lively figure is formed. Black people are positioned as the norm rather than the exception.
