New project statement
‘Selek Arts Collection' showcases the dignity
behind the hands that feed us
In a world where glamour and fame often
steal the spotlight, there’s an artist who has chosen to turn his attention to
the unsung heroes of our society – the everyday people who do simple jobs that
keep the wheels of our lives turning.
Seleman Kubwimana has embarked on a mission to showcase the
dignity and importance of the hands that feed us through his remarkable
artwork.
Selek’s latest
series of paintings focuses on the supply chain for food, from the agricultural
heartland of Musanze to the bustling city of Kigali. By highlighting the men
and women who toil tirelessly to ensure food reaches our tables, he aims to
elevate their role and remind us of their immense contributions.
When asked about
his inspiration, Kubwimana speaks passionately, ” In Kigali, there is a process
that we go through in order to get a finished product. Some people use boats to
transport products from different islands. I wanted to bring attention to the
often-overlooked laborers who are an integral part of the food supply chain,”
he said.
“Their work is essential and deserves
recognition. Through my art, I hope to honor their dignity and shed light on
the intricate processes that bring food from the provinces to our plates.”
Walking through the artist’s exhibition of
his paintings that he titled ‘A day in the Life’, one is immediately struck by
the vivid colors and the energy that emerges from his paintings. Each canvas
tells a story, capturing the essence of a different profession within the food supply
chain.
The Title of a collection is (A Day In the Life)
A Day in the Life is an exceptional art
collection created by Selekarts, which captures and celebrates the daily lives
of working-class Rwandans in a unique and distinctive style. The artist’s use
of strong contrasts between light and dark, along with bold colors, evokes the
richness of Rwandan culture and tradition.
The collection depicts the daily routines
of Rwandan workers, ranging from farmers to traders, artisans to laborers. Each
artwork captures a specific moment in time, showcasing the energy and vibrancy
of working-class life in Rwanda.
The art collection is a testament to the
singular vision of the artist, showcasing the power of art to capture the
essence of a people’s way of life. It celebrates the creativity, dignity, and
strength of the Rwandan people, inviting viewers to glimpse into their world
and honor their contribution to society.
