Myself and Kendra Walker join Sesse Elangwe to chat about his latest exhibition "Dawn" on view until February 9th. 

ABOUT SESSE
Sesse Elangwe (b. February 25, 1994) is a Cameroonian visual artist from the region of Buea, he currently lives and works in San Antonio, Texas. Sesse creates compelling paintings based on his digested response to personal and communal encounters that reflect his cultural and socio- political environment. Drawing aesthetics from realism, pop art and surrealism, Sesse employs portraiture to critically document some of the conditions experienced by the Black community.
Sesse is a self-taught artist, who has been practicing professionally for over eight years. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Political Science from the University of Buea in Cameroon. He has participated in over 20 exhibitions that span four continents: Africa, Europe, North America, and Australia. Works by Sesse are in prestigious private collections across the globe.

ABOUT DAWN
Dawn is a manifestation of Sesse’s recent migration to his new environment in San Antonio, Texas and his previous life in Cameroon. Sesse takes his visual representation of enlightenment to these two different worlds where he continues to critically document some of the conditions experienced by the Black community.
Sesse’s focus is on topics that include identity, community development, and personal growth. In this series, the structure and combination of multiple realities; portrait, landscape, and still life are positioned to create a dialogue between the Black experience in Africa and the Black experience in the African Diaspora. The scenes in this body of work are from his new environment. The richness in skin tone of his figures is more amplified and his subjects are positioned with confidence and valor. His signature use of surrealism to create asymmetry in the eyes of his subjects remains. The larger eye is a symbol of enlightenment. The large eye encourages his viewers to ask themselves challenging questions, to be more aware of their innate wisdom, and mobilize in the pursuit of a better tomorrow.

// MORIAH ALISE 
I'm Moriah Alise, founder of Alise Art Group, an artist management group that supports the work of visual artist. We assist in the development of their careers by providing a web of resources to stimulate strategic growth and opportunities. 

In order to be a great advisor to artist, collectors and art enthusiast I have to know my stuff and keep my ears open to the art world. Since I do that naturally, I figured why not share what I learn with you. The goal is to share as much information as I can so that this "Art World" isn't as intimidating to you as it was to me at one point. I hope to help artist on their artist journey, collectors on their collectors journey, be a source of art world information as well as spread awareness of the artist Alise Art Group Champions.
