Guéré Wé mask

African art among the Guéré / Wobé of West Africa

The Guéré / Wobé nuclear style has the originality that all the features of the human face are hypertrophied in an expressionist way. This remarkable work of art is the result of a fantastic, original and unbridled vision of the artist. This type of mask is one of the most disturbing and even hallucinatory artistic creations of Black Africa.
