Omo Tribes Ethiopia Body Painting Gallery

Omo Tribes Ethiopia Body Painting Gallery

In the confines of Ethiopia in Africa, centuries away from modernity, Hans Sylvester photographed during six years the tribes where men, women, children, old people, are geniuses of an ancient art, body painting. At their feet, the Omo river, astride a triangle on Ethiopia, Sudan and Kenya, the vast Rift Valley which slowly separates from Africa, a volcanic region which provides a vast range of pigments, red ochre, white kaolin, copper green, yellow or light gray ash.

The Omo Tribes are genius of body painting, and their bodies of two metres high is a huge canvas. The strength of their art lies in three words: fingers, speed and freedom.

They draw open hands, the tip of nails, sometimes with a piece of wood, a reed, a crushed stem. The lively gestures, rapid, spontaneous, beyond childhood, this essential movement that major contemporary masters seek when they learned a lot and try to forget everything.

Art: Maria Lassnig - Nudes

clipper's remarks: A new exhibition of Maria Lassnig's paintings is opening on April 25 at the Serpentine, London. Her work deals with the awareness we have of our own bodies, and rejects the strictures of traditional portraiture. Have a look at some of her work

Truth and dare

At nearly 90, the painter Maria Lassnig is producing the most confrontational work of her life. She talks to Adrian Searle

The painter greets us, naked. She holds a gun to her own head, and aims another at her spectators. Maria Lassnig, approaching 90, might be trying to tell us something. You or Me is the title of this self-portrait, painted in 2005 and the first thing you see in her exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery in London. As well as an introduction, the painting is a test: bolt and run, or stay and face the consequences. I plunged right in.

Hospital (Krankenhaus) is one of a long series of what she calls 'body-awareness paintings'

Three Ways of Being. According to the Serpentine's description, "Lassnig uses bold forms and strong colours to create portraits and semi-figurative abstractions"

The World Destroyer (Der Weltzertrülmmerer). This 2003 work of oil on canvas is an example of the role nudity plays in her work

The Illegitimate Bride. Lassnig's viewpoint has been described as feminist and she became the first female professor of painting in a German-speaking country at Vienna University of Applied Arts in 1980

Couple (2005). The powerful bodily sensation of being wrapped in plastic is an image Lassnig has visited on more than one occasion
