Romuald Hazoum�

0/5 ( ratings)

Romuald Hazoume , one of Africa's leading visual artists, has worked with many media throughout his career, but it is for his assemblage-masks that he is best known. These masks consist of discarded oil cans ubiquitous objects in Benin, which Hazoume repositions to resemble faces. The use of oil cans implicitly criticizes the presence of multinational oil companies in west Africa.
