Colon statues, a term derived from the French statues colon ("colon" is the French noun for a colonist), are a genre of wooden figurative sculpture within African art which originated during the colonial period. The statues commonly depict European colonial officials such as civil servants, doctors, soldiers or technicians or Europeanised middle-class Africans. They are often characterised by recurrent decorative motifs, such as pith helmets, suits, official uniforms or tobacco pipes, and are painted in bright or glossy colours with vegetable-based paints.

  • Colon statues, a term derived from the French statues colon ("colon" is the French noun for a colonist), are a genre of wooden figurative sculpture within African art which originated during the colonial period. The statues commonly depict European colonial officials such as civil servants, doctors, soldiers or technicians or Europeanised middle-class Africans. They are often characterised by recurrent decorative motifs, such as pith helmets, suits, official uniforms or tobacco pipes, and are painted in bright or glossy colours with vegetable-based paints. As a genre, colon statues originated in West Africa, apparently among the Baoulé in Ivory Coast. It achieved international popularity after World War II and after decolonisation. It has been argued that the genre originated as an African response to colonisation and the repression at the hands of the colonial state. It is debated whether the statues were originally seen as satirical caricatures of colonial officials or simply depictions of new subjects in local styles. Whether the original statues were intended to be purely ornamental or also served a ritual function is also debated by anthropologists. Among the notable artists who worked in the style was the Nigerian (fl.1900-50) whose works are widely exhibited in museums in the United States and Europe. Today, colon statues are widely produced as tourist souvenirs in West and Central Africa. (en)

Se ha argumentado que el género se originó como una respuesta artística africana a la colonización y a la represión a manos del estado colonial.​ Se debate si las estatuas fueron vistas originalmente como caricaturas satíricas de funcionarios coloniales o simplemente representaciones de nuevos temas en estilos locales.​ Los antropólogos también debaten si las estatuas originales estaban destinadas a ser puramente ornamentales o si también tenían una función ritual.​ Entre los artistas notables que trabajaron en el estilo se encontraba el nigeriano Thomas Ona Odulate (flor. 1900-50), cuyas obras se exhiben ampliamente en museos de los Estados Unidos y Europa. Hoy en día, las estatuas de colono se producen ampliamente como recuerdos turísticos en África occidental y central.​ (es)
