Cotonou StreetArt PhotoWalk: Longuest Wall Painted in Africa - Books






Greetings,
How are you doing?
Art and photography lovers will find these presentations of the artist in the Republic of Benin out of the ordinary.
I was at the street corner in Cotonou, where I used to explore the creative work of paint artists whether they are local or international.
Previous content shared on the wall was about animals and daily activities in the busy part of town. The section of the wall I inspected this afternoon was way more complex in the sense of book representation.
It is not a library where the books are on the shelves, but the more natural way the free mind will organize his or her pill of books freshly acquired.
The artists show the lack of time to organise and the urgency of being ready to connect with the idea inside each of the pages, not far from their reach.
I love the way the scene is presented to the viewer to look deeply to decipher the author's or title of some books on the pile.
I hope you will find a different meaning to this piece, so community members can engage on various interpretation routes of this simple but elaborate art on the wall.
Perhaps, a second visit to the street art becomes necessary to share the rapid progress of the artists on these impressive 2 miles long painted wall,l unfinished but already at 80% creative art display to the visitor.
I took these photos with my Redmi Note 14 in the southern part of Cotonou city, close to the Ocean side.
I hope you will love this summary of these beautiful wall paints.
Thank you so much for the attention you have accorded to this article.
I can't wait to return to the street next week to capture interesting events outside on the streets.
Regards
