Nka WOODS

Nka Woods shapes her visuals with passion, interconnecting eclectic craftsmanship with digital technicality. From these artistic explorations emerges a form of joyful and instinctive magic, source of new ramifications of stories to tell. To create tailor-made, with an ambition of authenticity, to be guided by the senses, the meaning... His prints travel during textile fairs, plant illustrations for editorial works in France and Switzerland, and gouaches in small and large formats, sometimes reinterpreted in ceramics... His favorite subjects echo each other; the ornamentation, the spiritual rites, the strangeness, and the omnipresent Nature, from which was born the people of the "Biyas". These micro-organic creatures mix natural sciences and "imaginary". The Biyas are his sweets hidden in his pockets, his ritual, his Proust madeleine... Some find themselves poached and stuck on walls, hiding in illustrations, others are the main subject of paintings and earthenware.

These works combine drawing with the snapshot of photography, like the springboard of a form of "diurnal hallucination", where the artist invites the spectator to travel. The elements are distorted, more or less absurd evocations intrude into the decor and lead the dreamer's unconscious into a world between dog and wolf.
