In ‘La verticale de l’Équateur’ John Lie A Fo presents twenty large canvases in acrylic paint, which are as we are used to seeing from him, steeped in spirituality. They make reference to the relationship between the spirit world and that of man, and as usual they attest to the artist’s pride in, and fascination with the traditions and the rituals of the different cultures in his home country, Suriname.

In his creation the artist stays true to himself and his expressions, but he does choose to use titles that are more universal. For the occasion of the exhibition a beautiful catalogue has been published, which is also named ‘La verticale de l’Équateur’. (text gallery Readytex, Paramaribo)
