About
A rare chance to see this contemporary African artist. Drop in to Design Renaissance Gallery to see his work.
Born in West Africa and now living in Germany, the artist Tôkpéou Gbaguidi represents a collision of cultures. Spirituality and rites are essential elements of his home country, and his art works reflect these traditions through his chosen design elements and materials. But Gbaguidi goes beyond these cultural boundaries and he often reflects on these critically by, for example, challenging the Euro-centric perspective on the African continent and its artworks.
