Chéri Samba : retour au bercail

5 February 2020

PIASA presents, in partnership with ASPIRE auction house, a sale of African Contemporary Art on 14 February 2020 in Cape Town, South Africa.


Father of popular painting in the Congo, Chéri Samba is one of the most internationally renowned African artists. Like his elder Moké and many artists from Kinshasa, Samba portrays, in a spiritual and facetious way, the daily life of the inhabitants of the capital of Congo. 

Chéri Samba's works, recognisable in their themes and style, have been shown in the largest exhibitions dedicated to contemporary African art globally. Praised by the largest collections, he is an undisputed figure in the art market.
