Jean-David Nkot

14 October 2021

Jean David Nkot was born in 1989 in Douala, Cameroon, where he lives and works.
After a BAC in painting at the Institute of Artistic Training of Mbalmayo, Jean David joined the Institute of Fine Arts of Foumban where he obtained a degree in drawing and painting.

Jean David Nkot’s work depicts the human condition. After focusing on the theme of migration, since 2020 he has been interested in the exploitation of raw materials in Africa and the economic and political issues that accompany it. Nkot shows how financial interests dominate and have taken over any consideration of human beings and nature.

The artist’s work invites us to rethink our model to protect both humans and the planet.
