每年，艺术与设计博览会AKAA（即“Also Known as Africa”，意为“也被称为非洲”）都会将数十位非洲及非裔艺术家带到法国首都。随着第11届展会拉开帷幕，我们迎来了尼日利亚画家Midegbeyan Ojisua和南非艺术家Olivié Keck。
Every year the art and design fair AKAA, or "Also Known as Africa", brings dozens of African and Afro-descendant artists to the French capital. As the 11th edition gets underway, we welcome Nigerian painter Midegbeyan Ojisua and South African artist Olivié Keck.
Ojisua的空灵绘画灵感源自意大利文艺复兴，特别是列奥纳多·达·芬奇的调色板，以大地色调强调人与自然的联系。
Ojisua's ethereal paintings are inspired by the Italian Renaissance and the colour palette of Leonardo da Vinci in particular, with earthy tones emphasising the connection between humans and nature.
与此同时，Keck将无面孔的女性形象置于明亮的流行艺术背景前——这是对古希腊陶瓷剪影的致意，凸显女性气质并将其提升至神性地位。
Keck, meanwhile, sets faceless female figures against bright pop backgrounds – a nod to ancient Greek ceramic silhouettes that highlights femininity and elevates them to the status of divine beings.
我们探讨了这两位艺术家的最新作品、他们截然不同的风格，以及新一代非洲艺术买家。
We discuss the two artists' latest work, their differing styles and a new generation of African art buyers.
