The globalisation of the world leaves flaws, particularly on the economic, political and socio-cultural level. Can we be neutral observers? Nowadays, we are all observers, yet we are changing the history of humanity. Participating positively should be our objective.

About the Artist

Tôkpéou Gbaguidi

Germany

The observation of socio-political developments in the world, and especially on the African continent, has made me more critical, direct, and truthful in my artistic work.

My series of paintings, sculptures and installations entitled “One-eyed” highlights the hidden side of the continent that is exemplified by the narrow-mindedness of the political elite who hinder the development of the continent.

At the same time, I seek to rationalize the euro-centric perspective of Africa. My contemporary works, which integrate materials rich in the values, cultures and traditions of our ancestors, are intimate and surprising.

In my works I utilize objects that had been deemed to have reached the end of their usefulness. I give them new shapes and forms, and in so doing give these objects a new life which is theirs. This can be seen in my sculpture titled “Without my spoon”.
