Pascal Konan

20 September 2022

Pascal Konan was born in 1979 in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. He graduated from the Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts of Abidjan. Pascal Konan now teaches painting alongside his personal artistic practice. He represents the daily life of Abidjan. The artist interprets a particular emotion, the one produced by African cities through their affluence and the exuberant profusion of sounds and smells, which characterizes them.

Pascal Konan whole approach resides thus at the same time in exaltation of a happy childhood spent in one of the suburbs of Abidjan, but also in the testimony of precariousness of a continent struggling with urbanity.
