"Art Bodo" is the nom de plume of Camille-Pierre Bodo Pambu, called Art Bodo Pambu. According to www.africancontemporary.com, he was born in 1953 in Mandu, Democratic Republic of Congo and subsequently worked in Kinshasa. He was one of the founders of the Zaïre school of popular painting. Their works state their belief that their art could change the course of history. One of Bodo's main themes was the Ndoki Zoba (sorcery) and the aim of these paintings was to advise abandoning the practice of sorcery. In 1980, he converted to Christianity, and became a pastor in the Pentecostal church
