  • "Using found material—cardboard, charcoal, fragments of magazine ads, or newspapers—Aboudia transposes Nouchi, the colloquial language of the Ivory Coast that is a mixture of several Ivorian languages and French, onto his canvases. This alchemy is tied together by an explosive use of color and the use of symbols and imagery: voodoo iconography, Dan masks from Liberia, or Igbo masks from Nigeria. The result is work that often feels combustible."i
    —Ayodeji Rotinwa
