Bodo (painter)

Bodo (painter)

Camille-Pierre Pambu Bodo, known as Bodo (born 1953), is a painter from the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Born and raised in Mandu, Bodo left high school to move to Kinshasa in 1970; he participated in the exhibit "Art Partout" that same year. He converted to Christianity in 1980, and has since become Pentecostal. He lives, works, and preaches in Kinshasa.

Bodo's work is fairly surreal, and bears some resemblance to the paintings of Hieronymous Bosch; some of his paintings are in the collection of Jean Pigozzi.
