In his latest series, « Pangea, » celebrated artist Mederic Turay invites viewers to travel back in time, exploring the primal essence of humanity. The artwork, bathed in rich hues of red, captures the moment our ancestors discovered fire—a pivotal development in human history.

Using a combination of ancient statue figures and totems, Turay weaves a narrative that delves into humanity’s roots, depicting the earliest humans in their natural state. Each piece evokes the raw emotions and primal instincts that drove early societies, reflecting a time when survival was at the forefront, and the discovery of fire was a monumental leap toward civilization.

Turay’s choice of red is not just a color; it symbolizes life, vitality, and the intensity of a world untamed by modernity. The use of ancient totems and figures adds a spiritual dimension to the artwork, representing the deep connection between early humans and their environment, beliefs, and shared experiences. « Pangea » becomes more than a visual journey; it is an exploration of the unity of humankind before the continents and cultures drifted apart.
