Art Tembé invited on street furniture

Native from Guyana and Surinam, bushinengé peoples initiate tembé art in the 18th century. Often expressed through painting and sculpting, this art shows intertwined and coloured patterns, inspired from African and Amerindian cultures.

The main signification of this art is the commitment and protection.

This local culture is highlighted through street furniture in the Guyanese city of Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni. By this art, applied on street equipment, cities can drive local population to endorse the offered layouts, between tradition and modernism.

Worthy representative of Art Tembé, Mr Franky Amete signs up these pieces. Then, thanks to the know-how of laser cut and folding, ATECH knew how to work hot-lacquered steel, according to the request. For now exposed in M. Franky Amete art gallery (franckyamete.e-monsite.com), bins, bollards and barriers will soon be settle up in the Guyanese cities and institutions.
