THE PRESENCE
Pokpong defines his work an "art of presence." Each painting, made with meticulous care down to the smallest detail, in the nuances, in the layers, and in the shadows evokes the physical presence of the observer so that the essence of the work can be perceived completely.
The author longs for a direct encounter between the public and "his" women, integrating or offsetting the ones to the others. The "art of presence", in this sense, also wishes to be an invitation to delve into - in the first person and along with other users - the themes pro- posed by his art, to inspire a community spirit and the present-day hope of living together and of respectful integration.
The woman's face and its different facets speaks of the multicultural world in which the artist is immersed and becomes a singular presence involving the collective memory - that can expand the spaces and create a new and great albeit an ever-changing one society.
