Sanou Oumar was born in Burkina Faso, West Africa; he lives in the Bronx and works in Harlem, New York. In 2015, Oumar moved to the United States to seek asylum and pursue his dream of becoming an architect. Oumar’s highly inventive works elevate quotidian materials—a pen, marker, colored pencil, or paper—while employing his personal possessions as stencils: his ID card, disposable spoons, washers, compass. Each drawing optically engages the viewer in a complex exploration of pattern, color, and form, promising the same gift they give their maker: an experience of order, relief, beauty, imagination, and transformation.
