The Meta Art Club

Senegalese artist Linda Dounias work captures diversity and depicts the human form in all its vibrancy, informed by explorations around mental health and the relationship between masculine and feminine and gender stereotypes. Her art is both optimistic and stylised  a fearless amalgamation of graphic styles and the distinctly Senegalese colours from everyday artefacts including public buses, barber shop signs, and traditional fabrics, as well as analogue technologies that remind Dounia of her pre-digital childhood. Drawing on her professional training as a graphic designer, Dounias work is inspired by her Lebanese-Senegalese dual heritage; as well as science fiction, fantasy and surrealist literature, and the paintings of Sam Gilliam, Lisa Corinne Davis and David Hockney. Experimenting freely with techniques and mediums, Dounia stands out as an artist at the forefront of the African digital art movement.    42/80
