Collection 'Légende'

The unique art collection Légende by Frédéric Bruly Bouabré is an exceptional series of 50 original drawings (13 x 17 cm each) that exemplifies the artist’s signature style—naïve yet deeply symbolic, colorful, and meticulously structured.

Created on repurposed cardboard, each work is rendered in ballpoint pen and colored pencil, adhering to Bouabré’s characteristic visual language.

The collection forms a cohesive narrative, recounting the allegorical tale of two brothers and the eternal battle between truth and lies.

Every drawing is hand-signed on the reverse side and numbered from 1 to 50, ensuring that the sequence is read in the correct order, reinforcing Bouabré’s storytelling intent. This structured approach not only enhances the narrative depth of the series but also reflects his broader mission of using art as a vehicle for knowledge transmission.

Légende stands as a testament to Bouabré’s ability to merge art, philosophy, and mythology into a singular, compelling body of work, solidifying his legacy as both a visual artist and a cultural historian.
