Description
Ouattara Watts: A Comprehensive Monograph This is the first thorough monograph on Ouattara Watts' work, featuring a diverse range of materials and techniques. Over nearly four decades, Watts has developed a unique painting practice that combines cosmograms, numerals, and other symbols from around the world. The artist's use of traditional mediums such as acrylic and gouache is complemented by materials gathered from flea markets, papier-mâché, and photographic reproductions, among others. This volume includes essays by writer Kaelen Wilson-Goldie, curator Lawrence Rinder, and artist Dieter Buchhart, as well as a conversation between Watts and curator-critic KJ Abudu. The result is a densely layered and monumental body of work that challenges hierarchies and creates new relations between seemingly disparate elements. This monograph provides a comprehensive overview of Watts' artistic practice, making it an essential resource for anyone interested in contemporary art.
