Artist Bio/Statement:
Gibril Bangura is a painter from Sierra Leone. He relocated to Canada in 2014 and now lives in Edmonton. His first exhibition was at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris, France, at age 19. He has since exhibited in embassies in Sierra Leone, Guinea, The Edge Gallery, Frame Arts Warehouse, and IRCOM in Winnipeg. He has been a full-time artist for the last 30 years.
"Colour is a language that has no barriers. Colour is a language that unifies the universe. Colour speaks, even without a word.
My paintings began to have life, and the more I painted [these] colourful paintings, the more I began to experience a kind of break free in my own life. I began to experience peace, happiness,” he said. “The more I paint these things, the more I feel liberated. I first of all saw the healing powers of colours transforming my own life.”
