Bally Tshibangu (born in 2004) State of Affairs Oil on canvas Date created: 2025 H100 L105 cm Bally Shibangu (2004, Belgian-Congolese artist) Bally’s painting practice is characterized by a constant exploration of the ambiguous and subtle boundary between abstraction and figuration. For him, this creative process represents an inexhaustible source of questions and visual narratives, while also engaging the viewer’s mind and allowing for a personal and free interpretation of the work. His work draws inspiration primarily from his environment, his identity, his memories, and images and objects from everyday life, which he reinterprets through an eclectic pictorial language—at times organic, at times geometric. Through this language, he transforms, distorts, simplifies, geometrizes, deconstructs, and reconstructs his subjects to develop a fascinating exploration of forms and volumes, as well as the relationships these elements have with color and space.
