Shipping Procedure FREE Shipping Worldwide Ships in a well-protected tube This work is unique, not a print or other type of copy. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. About Artist Born in 1993 in Cameroon, Kum Cletus Ngum is an African artist, who has gained considerable popularity over the last few years. He belongs to the town of Beau in the southwest region of Cameroon. Retaining the local experiences through the format of visuals, they juxtapose with the urban sensibilities developing a plethora of figurative imageries. His paintings reflect a deep sense of concern, emotional empathy, and pain. Kum’s oeuvre is replete with female portraits placed on the intense stage of tonal values. They reflect expressionist tendencies that look back at the master artists. Bringing a wide range of palettes to the audience, the portraits seep, drown, and swim in cultural memories. The women in Kum’s representations are in reality the ones who have suffered mentally or physically. The young girls and women, who he knew or had known through mutual sources had been either exploited or treated unfairly. A method of releasing the deep-rooted angst, the colors become a path toward redemption. More importantly, the theme has been specifically addressed in his current series called Small Miami+ Black Therapy. The same women express confident, proud, and victorious body language. Subverting the existing oppression, his art hence weaves a new format of visual language. He remarks upon the hopeful desire for a utopian world for the oppressed gender. Hence, his portraits an emblems of affection and compassion.

  • Arc of Glory
    Located in Ibadan, Oyo
    This Painting is part of the 'self confidence' series. The artist believes self-confidence is the breeze that carries us beyond the limitations of doubt, unveiling the brilliance of our true potential. He worked on bold and solitary figures in this series because He believed every human has a unique superpower (that which lies within them). In "Arc of Glory", the artist masterfully encapsulates the essence of his "Self Confidence" series, where he delicately weaves together themes of elegance, strength, and introspection. The artwork is not only an aesthetic delight but a profound introspection into the core of human existence, evoking a profound resonance with all who lay their eyes upon it.
