Rihanata Bigey is a French-Burkinabè multi-disciplinary artist based in London. Her practice takes inspiration from African cultural heritage and society through painting, sculpture, and installation. She is looking at the culture specifically through the lens of femininity.Rihanata’s work explores the iconographic significance of the Black female body in modern Culture from Western and African societies. Rihanata exhumes the physical and psychological impact of the Black Female body and representation as an icon and subject of fantasy; questioning the multiple layers of black women's image and identity through the prism of assimilation. Through her art, Rihanata also explores the houses and communities these objects are found in, and how the environment where a once-traditional object is placed can alter the meaning of the said object. Looking into her memories and experiences, Rihanata aims to show another vision of culture through imagination.
