Aboudia - Long term superstar or short term auction speculation?

What are your thoughts on this African artist?

Jean-Michel Basquiat will forever remain in our memory as the author of his style. They could claim Aboudia's works cost quadrillions, but this will not erase the legacy of Basquiat.

I remember this artist from Charles Saatchi exhibitions. To be honest, his pictorial motifs inspired me to something from the world of African history and populated my own canvases with dark characters and their tribal masks. In many ways, a child's vision of the world in the same unpretentious pictorial manner, with excellent mastery of color and interesting compositions. Yes, the compositions can undoubtedly be sharper and more populated with various characters, but in the modern art world he does not have many real competitors. He certainly reminds me of Basquiat. Dali died, we are looking for a new Dali, and until we find him, I admit that our level of contemporary art in 2024 is below the level of the peak of the modernist era. Much lower.
