Beschreibung
Barthélémy Toguo’s art is a call for community and love, but there is nothing naïve about it. His paintings, graphic art, sculptures, performances, and installations explicitly grapple with colonialism, migration, and inequality; he directs our attention to the devastations wrought by humans, to the slow deaths of nature and cultures. He aspires to create work that establishes non-hierarchical connections; to build, as he puts it, a “world of solidarity and generosity” that knows neither ego nor identity, a community of all forms of life that flourish and pass away so that new living beings can sprout from their remains—Endless Blossoms. Toguo envisions a colorful future, a universe of exuberant energy and joie de vivre.
Art as a call for unity: Barthélémy Toguo shows us the way from the abyss to love and community.
Kunst als Ruf zur Einheit: Barthélémy Toguo weist uns den Weg vom Abgrund zu Liebe und Gemeinschaft.
