Rakajoo (aka Baye-Dam Cissé) is a versatile, self-taught artist with a realistic, caricatural and satirical style. After a stint in the animation industry, a childhood dream whose promise turned out to be uncreative, Rakajoo returned to painting.
About
Rakajoo (aka Baye-Dam Cissé) is a young 34-year-old French artist, just graduated from the Art & Image section of the Kourtrajmé school founded by Oscar nominated film director Ladj Ly and artist JR. His work was presented in the group exhibition Jusqu’ici tout va bien at the Palais de Tokyo at the end of 2020. The exhibition at Danysz gallery is his first solo show in a gallery. We discover his painter talents through about twenty artworks inspired by his favourite parisian areas. Châtelet, Château Rouge and Château d´Eau. These are very evocative and very strong toponyms, yet the daily reality there totally makes us forget the meaning and origins of these places.
