Tatu: Masela Nkolo

Art Contemporary

535 Means Street NW, Atlanta, GA 30318

My creative process began with a desire to connect my African heritage with contemporary art. My artwork draws its strength from the cultural expressions of the Songwe, Tshokwe, Ngala, Luba, Kongo, Pende, Yaka and Kuba people of the Congo. As well as the Baule of the Ivory Coast and the Benin styles of Nigeria. These skilled ironworkers, talented embroiderers, and capable woodcarvers, displayed a uniqueness in their artwork that was truly one of a kind.
