Abdoul-Ganiou Dermani
Main Prize - 2009
Peace in the World
Artform: Painting
Togolese Abdoul-Ganiou offers a message of global significance. "My work raises questions of respect for human rights, freedom, respect for culture and understanding between communities," he says. His painting is a patchwork of colour which forms a human figure, whose head is a terrestrial sphere. The arms are a show of force while the chest of the figure is made up of two white doves, symbolizing peace. In their beaks, the doves hold a golden plant to signify the preciousness of their burden. Abdoul-Ganiou says, "Human beings must think of the world and must promote world peace."
