If you're an artist, what kind of art do you make?
Digital, Drawing, Film, Painting
I am...
“My name is Thona Samba. I am a fresh new painter from Paris, now living in London.
I always wanted to do something creative.....
At the age of 16 i was in a theatre troupe for two years.
Since then I've always tried to do something in the art.....
About my artwork
My paintings are very colourful. I like colours very much...........
The mouth is going to be the theme for my first solo exhibition. I never showed my work to the public before .
Why mouth?
Because the mouth is the centre of many of the fundamental components of human activity. It is consumption, speech, breath, romance; it is communication, interaction, giving pleasure, almost a door to the soul.
And I love to communicate, the romance, interaction between people in a positive way..


I like to share with people.....
Artists I like
wht the fuck
too many lol
Interests
paintings,music,film,travel,cooking......
What exhibitions are good at the moment?

And I love to communicate, the romance, interaction between people in a positive way..
And because I am a comedian, for me the venue Marie Lloyd Bar is perfect...
The world need to get to know this fresh painter, comedian and also future singer.
I like to share with people.....

Thona Samba can be described as a Conceptual Art Brut or Outsider painter. His paintings are colourful explosions that express complex philosophical ideas in a crude and naïve style. You either hate or love Samba’s work. The Marie Lloyd Bar is proud to present this young artist to a critical London audience.

Please do come along to the opening night on the 29 April from 6pm – 9pm. Samba will be present.

Kind Regards,
The Marie Lloyd bar

Hi Thona,

Thank you for inviting me to your opening. Unfortunately I wasn't able to make it as I'd already planned to attend a book launch.

I will try to get to the gallery to see your work before the exhibition closes; meanwhile, keep me posted on any future shows.

Best
Paul

There was a lot of public,...even the period after the opening. Sunday i was sitting there as the suppoost and didn't had any time to read the book i brought with me to kill the emptyness in time. So that was basicly pretty good been talkin' whole day with everybody who was interrested in the works.
Although there were lot sa people who were drawn towards my work unfotunately i didn't sell anything pity enough.
So resuming your question, yes it was a good exhibition and met quite some nice people,......unfortunatly didn't sell anything.
