DÉCOUVRE ET COLORIE DES MOTIFS WAX INSPIRÉS DES PHOTOGRAPHIES DE SEYDOU KEÏTA
Qu'est-ce qu'un wax?
Une WAX (wax signifiant cire en anglais) est un tissage de coton industriel, surtout produit en Angleterre et en Hollande. On l'appelle aussi le "tissu africain" tant ce textile est populaire en Afrique subsaharienne où il est surtout porté en pagne. Le wax mélange des techniques d'impression et de réserve à la cire, inspirées des batiks javanais.
Seydou Keïta utilisait souvent ce type de tissu pour orner l'arrière plan de ses photograhies et créer des effets surprenants comme sur l'image présentée ci-dessous.

A monument of stone, glass and metal, the Grand Palais blends into the urban landscape. However, on closer inspection, it is in fact bursting with colour, and one of the challenges of the restoration work currently underway is to restore all its chromatic ranges.
