Ulrich Caster Adimou

Caster's a young artist of special talent. With no formal artistic training, he has manage to depict palpable imagery from his memory with honesty and clarity. His dynamic drawings and paintings are executed with flourish and verve. In the midst of a creative cycle of self-discovery, a world of youthful exuberance emerges. Combining finesse with delicate energy, his paintings often reveal his journey into an inspired fantasy world based on his former home in Benin and Togo (West Africa). Caster surprises and delight us by superimposing academic rules with colorful imagination. Thus, his " Artistique Main Noir" trademark or nom de plume which is French for black hand bring a liveliness and bold originality that is seductive and even exotic to our frequently jaded a kind of self-portrait here, discovering a renaissance of images from within and opening up visual emotions for us."
