Avant le début de la conférence Francis MBELLA a rendu Hommage à
VICTOR NDOUMBE MBELLA : "L'âme d'un Sculpteur incompris"
La vie est un long fleuve tranquille. Et face au destin, tout Grand Artiste, tout Grand Penseur, parce que souvent en avance sur leur Temps, frôlent toujours les limites de l'incompréhension.
Devenir un Artiste demande un grand courage. Les petites valeurs ne s'imposent pas, elles se decouvrent. L'argent gagné a plus de valeur que l'argent trouvé. Aiyez foi en vos propres idées même si tout le monde pensent qu'elles sont érronées. Victor Ndoumbè MBELLA (1925--1991)
Le 04 Mai 2012, Francis MBELLA, Artiste Peintre, Philosophe rencontre les étudiants de l'université PARIS 8 dans son atelier parisien pour une conférence débat sur "les signes de l'art contemporain africain dans l'art contemporain"
La nature a mis en dépot, dans les grandes imaginations futures, plus de nouveautés à dire sur les créations qu'elle n'a crée de choses.
Le secret des pensées, de leurs structures et de leur évolution est lisible souvent dans leur art.
Le rapide survol de l'histoire révèle combien sont parallèles le cours de l'art et celui de la pensée à travers les siècles. L'un et l'autre apparaissent avec leurs moyens si différents, comme la transposition sur des registres divers d'une commune structure qui définit l'époque, sa position à l'égard du passé qu'elle prolonge ou qu'elle élimine, et de l'avenir qu'elle bâtit.
Mais cette collision, si évidente lorsqu'on envisage les grandes lignes, reste-t-elle valable dans les cas particuliers?
Il semble que l'artiste doit échapper à cette communauté fatale, puisqu'il est par excellence un témoin d'originalité et d'exception.

Francis MBELLA's Exhibition in Studio de l'Image Gallery - Paris - December 1990
The aim of the work of art involves possibilities and probabilities, never certainties. It is always ambiguous, always likely to discard aspects of its meaning and to acquire other meanings. The representational object, on the other hand, involves narrative using sign and forms which make for an allusive, abridged and faster procedure, or on the contrary, developing further previously satisfactory solutions.
Through aesthetics man reaches out to the future while at the same time influencing this future. It is not just a matter of the famous link between reality and the imagination, the problem of the image is infinitely richer, and involves discovering new fields of knowledge and possibly other realities.
Just as an image is made up of concrete elements whose links are to the possible rather than to the certain, in a similar fashion, living creation is too, in its fixed elements, an endless speculation on the renewal of man's models and ways of relating to his environment.
The work of art, separate, ambiguous, uncertain and always mobile, derives its status primarily through its unity in the imagination. We should recall that long after the words are forgotten, the art object still remains.

Francis MBELLA's Exhibition in Yamato Lounge - Meridien Etoile Hotel - Summer 1985
Art is the definitive moment of revelation, it shows the existence of truth itself. The aim of art is to learn again what the visible is. My aim is to restore the loss of vision caused by an over-emphasis on matters intellectual. In other words to restore to it that truth lost to art when feeling was deemed inferior to the intellect.
L'art est en définitif le moment de l'extériorité, il dévoile la vérité elle-même. La finalité de l'art est de réapprendre ce qu'est le visible. Mon but est de restaurer cette dimension de vérité perdue par l'abus et la dictature de l'intelligible. Autrement dit, de restaurer cette dimension de vérité que l'art avait perdu depuis que le sensible était "inférieur" à l'intelligible.

Education is often less than it should be. And this causes one to hesitate to put forward in a few pages some of the solutions man has adopted when faced with the problems which aesthetics and art posed him. But perhaps education is close to something essential, searching through the tangle of trees in the hope of one day finding the real wood. This book, hopefully, will help you on your way to finding it.
Eduquer, c'est trop souvent dénaturer. Aussi hésite-t-on à ramasser en quelques pages les attitudes que la pensée humaine a successivement adoptées en face des problèmes que lui posaient l'esthétique et l'art. Mais peut-être aussi éduquer rapproche-t-il de l'essentiel: cherchant les branches maîtresses enfouies dans le fouillis palpitant du feuillage, on atteint parfois le tronc. Cet ouvrage devrait en être le reflet.

Francis MBELLA's Exhibition : "The reflections of color" in Clearwater. FLORIDA, USA_November, 2004
Art faithfully reflects the development of the principal ideas on which knowledge is based but it also records and interprets many items which are very much less clear than those produced by the intellect, though of far lesser importance.
Society and customs change though, and this has to be taken into account as this too, strongly influences how people think and feel.
As reality changes so do the ways we interpret it.

Francis MBELLA's Exhibition : " GLANCE ON THE WOMAN " Art Reflex International Center MARCH-APRIL 2001
The duty to communicate
Language requires a second phase, the art of communicating. Now, since symbolism, the counterpart to what is unexpressed, or what is reputed to be impossible to express, has indeed invested a strange type of prestige in obscurity, an innate value.
Our epoch has merit of recognising it has serious duty stagnate in old, threadbare forms, which, because they are worn out and used, have become repetitive and inexpressive. And this is healthy, moreover, in period governed by large aspirations and ambitions for its civilisations, and while this is not enough, it remains quietly active.
It is up to art above all that belongs the duty to forge an expression of what aspires to be. This is, doubtless, why the public, moved by its deepest instincts, grants it such a place in the present time.
Modern art should not be restricted to the self-satisfaction of artist merely enjoying themselves. For art and art alone, has the sole power to initiate and to install in the outer visible world, a new reality, something any artist worthy of the name bears within himself, innovation successfully and completely carrying out its mission as language.

Francis MBELLA's Exhibition: "THE COLOUR AND THE FAITH" in UNESCO-Paris, November 2003

UNITED NATIONS EDUCATIONAL, SCIENTIFIC AND CULTURAL ORGANISATION
ACTION AND THE MEANING OF ART ?
What then is art, if the idea of beauty which confuses everything, is rejected? In order to define art precisely, you must start by ceasing to consider it a means of pleasure and viewing art instead as one of the condiitions of human life. Considered this way, we can not avoid concluding that art is one of major means men have of communicating with each other.
All works of art function in this way, the audience, to a certain extent, enters into communication with its creator, and with all others who, before or after him, received or will receive the same artistic impression.
Art functions like words, wich link men together by expressing their thoughts and their experiences. But this means of communication is specific and differs from the word through wich man communicates his thoughts, whereas by art man communicates his feelings.
Art operates through the fact that a man who perceives through hearing or through sight the feelings expressed by another man, is able to feel the same things as he who expressed them.
