Can art help us see Malagasy society's realities differently? With "F'iray sa kina?", his new exhibition inaugurated Thursday evening at La Teinturerie in Ampasanimalo, Malagasy graffiti artist and visual artist Echo, whose real name is Razafine, invites the public to reflect on the social, political and psychological dimensions of collective life.
Through around ten works, the artist addresses the vulnerability of the population, inequalities between social classes, submission in the professional world and their psychological repercussions. His creations also showcase inner struggles, the quest for truth and questions related to the choices that shape society.
Self-taught, Echo discovered graffiti in 2011. Throughout his career, he has developed a visual language blending street art codes with calligraphy, mandalas and rich symbolism. He uses collage, stencil, spray paint and various mixed techniques to create works where urban expression combines with introspection.
Presented as an invitation to question the realities surrounding each person, "F'iray sa kina?" is open to the public at La Teinturerie in Ampasanimalo until October 6.
