Jean-Jacques Efiaimbelo est un sculpteur malgache né vers 1925 à Androka et mort en 2001.

Biographie

Descendant d’une famille de sculpteurs traditionnels, Efiaimbelo sculpte des poteaux funéraires en bois appelés “aloalo” (prononcé aloual), qui ornent les sépultures des chefs de sa communauté. Bien qu’il soit l’héritier de cette tradition, il a su la renouveler par la modernisation de l’iconographie et l’usage décoratif de couleurs acryliques. Le public occidental a pu découvrir cet art vivant dans des expositions comme les Magiciens de la terre ou des institutions artistiques comme le Guggenheim museum de Bilbao. Son œuvre est également bien représentée dans la collection de Jean Piggozi.
