Africa-Press – Seychelles. Since the beginning of the Games of La Francophonie, we have met artists from different countries in Africa and elsewhere. All are gathered in the gallery of the National Museum for the first exhibitions and openings of the works in competition. Then they – the visual artists, painters, sculptors – began to work at the Academy of Fine Arts.As soon as you arrive at this academy, you are transported to a calm and peaceful world, far from the hubbub of the city. Students are scattered around the grounds of the academy surrounded by sculptures that all have a story to tell.
The Academy of Fine Arts (ABA) of Kinshasa, is an institute for teaching visual arts and applied arts. It has been requested on several occasions for the construction of monuments by President Mobutu Sese Seko. The ABA teaches ceramics, interior decoration, beaten metal, painting and sculpture as artistic humanities at the secondary level and at the level of higher education, it teaches graphic arts (interior architecture and visual communication) and the plastic arts (ceramics, beaten metal, painting and sculpture).
On this Tuesday, all day our Seychellois artist Ryan Chetty accompanied by his mentor Egbert Marday is at the ABA to create his painting which will be judged this Thursday.
We wish Ryan good luck.
