Life in Color celebrates color and coincides with the photographic rise of a contemporary Africa. Photography is a crossing that transcends spaces and borders, images and temporalities. Fascinated by color, Sarfo Emmanuel Annor unfolds a new universe, chromatic variations, Majorelle blues, bright yellows. This artist from Koforidua, in the eastern region of Ghana, revives the art of portraiture through a gallery of vibrant and intriguing children, inspired by the communicative energy of his surroundings. His photographs reveal various dimensions: moments brimming with life in contact with the children of his family and improbable encounters punctuating his daily life.

Through his explosions of vivid tones, his poses inspired by classical references in harmony of color, his portraits read like parchments to the rhythm of the daily life of his child heroes: it is up to the viewer to feel the sensitive traces, the tangible signs, laid down by touches.
