Kingelez died on March 14, 2015. Three days later, the notice of his death in the French newspaper Le monde hailed him as a "monument of Congolese art" and aptly identified both the utopian underpinnings of his oeuvre and the implicit social critique in his "chimerical architecture . . . without police or cemetery, traffic or congestion."

Kingelez died on March 14, 2015. Three days later, the notice of his death in the French newspaper Le monde hailed him as a "monument of Congolese art" and aptly identified both the utopian underpinnings of his oeuvre and the implicit social critique in his "chimerical architecture . . . without police or cemetery, traffic or congestion."
"The sculptures of Congolese artist Bodys Isek Kingelez (1948-2015) offer a vision of a future modernity that is beautiful, harmonious, and functional. This essay traces the artist's career from his early history in the village of Kimbembele-Ihunga to the elaborate "extreme maquettes" he began making during his long residence in Kinshasa. Kingelez's work collapses boundaries between mediums and seems to exist without art historical precedent, perhaps one reason that it has not received extensive art historical attention until now."
