Je suis jeune, Cassius Clay series, 2014. Steve Bandoma was born in 1981 and studied at the Academie des Beaux-Arts in Kinshasa where was one of the founders of the avant-garde collective, Librisme Synergie. Bandoma considers his work as a form of recycling and includes in his paintings various materials into which he imbues new life. His paintings blend watercolors, acrylics, felt-tip markers and collages of press clippings to create a visual dynamic reflecting the energy and violence of the contemporary world.
