Gerard Quenum (Beninese, born 1971) Decimes I
Provenance : Provenance Acquired from the October Gallery, London, 2008. The title 'Decimated' eloquently describes this work. Quenum's trademark doll is set amid a decimated bleak landscape. To the artist the doll is the remains of overseas aid parcels sent to Africa by well-meaning organisations that imagine that the discarded toys of first-world children are something that might aid an African child's development.
