Working across painting , drawing , sculpture, photography, performance, and installation, Barthélémy Toguo addresses enduring and immediately relevant issues of borders, ex ile, and displacement. At the core of his practice is the notion of belonging , which stems from his dual French/Cameroonian culture. Through poetic, hopeful, and often figural gestures connecting nature with the human body, Toguo foregrounds concerns with both ecological and societal implications.
Between 1989 and 1993 Toguo studied art, first at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Abidjan then in Grenoble, and finally at the Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf. Solo exhibitions of his work have been presented at institutions including Parrish Art Museum, New York ; Uppsala Art Museum, Sweden; Musée d’art moderne et contemporain de SaintEtienne, France; La Verrière by Hermès, Brussels; Fundaçao Gulbenkian, Lisbon; and Palais de Tokyo, Paris.
Toguo’s works are included in public collections worldwide, including Tate Modern, England; Centre Pompidou, France; Musée d’art contemporain de Lyon, France; Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM); Studio Museum in Harlem, New York ; and MoMA , New York .
