The canvas is unlined. Approximately 50cm. from the left hand framing edge, there is a seam where the canvas has been joined from top to bottom, this appears to be the artist's intent. There is a further seam approximately 50cm. from the bottom framing edge spanning approximately 2/3 of the work's width. There are various surface marks throughout, all of which appear to be contemporary with the creation of the work. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals no signs of restoration or repair. The work is in good condition.

Catalogue Note
Born in 1969 in Cotonou, Benin, Dominique Zinkpè gained international recognition through his presence at the 2002 Dakar Biennale. Winner of the 2002 West African Economic and Monetary Union Award for his installation Malgré tout (In Spite of Everything!), Zinkpè has created a broad repertoire of work consisting of drawings, paintings, sculpture, performance and installation. Although the artist tackles a variety of themes using a wide array of mediums, it is his paintings that seem to offer the most in-depth perspective into this talented artist.
