"Tous sapeurs !" is the title of an exhilarating series by Amani Bodo in which he depicts celebrities in true Congolese sapeur style. In this painting, he depicts the most famous DR Congo painter, Chéri Samba, paying a liberal tribute to Diego Velázquez’s portrait of Pablo de Valladolid. In this series, and in this painting in particular, the artist manages to deliver a plausible depiction, even when completely stripping the model of his usual look.
