Anton Manabe
 
 
About the Artist

it's always the fascination of damaged things that provokes me to do my work.
bones, rotten pieces of wood I pick up in rivers or on the shore, carrying them home
and carve my sculptures out of it.
wood is not a material but a creature.

The invisible spirits are benevolent to those able to see them;
when the � found object � is charged with meaning and purpose,
the beauty that springs from these assemblages of apparently unrelated elements has
seduced humankind since earliest times, during every period of awakening and coincidence.
In them we may see the ancient actuality of the most contemporary art.

( Bateke � Peintres et sculptures d� Afrique centrale � Marie-Claude Dupre )
