Pierre Segoh, Togo, 'Untitled', Acrylic on canvas, signed and dated on the backside 2006, ......

Condition report:the canvas has been rolled and has some chips.

.Born in Togo in 1980, he lives and works in Lomé. Pierre Segoh is a painter and unfolds on vast canvases imaginary worlds in a luxuriant personal cosmogony where strange characters with zoomorphic heads, small beings barely sketched who move in all directions, giants with dog heads, skulls with gaping mouths, totemic symbols, cars, airplanes, buildings... and then this link that the painter always traces as a magic scroll, between each of his characters.

Pierre Segoh has a graphic approach to painting. In love with the line and the motif, the density of his works offers a singular vision of the world, calling upon cultural references specific to the artist, while denouncing the economic, migratory and political problems crossing contemporary society as a whole.

Pierre Segoh has exhibited in Togo and internationally. In 2022 he exhibited at the Palais de Lomé and at the African Artists' Foundation in Lagos. He has also been exhibited several times between Ouagadougou and Lomé by the Goethe Institute and the French Institute. In Paris he benefited from a residency at the Cité Internationale des Arts and showed his work at the AKAA fair in 2017.

His works are present in important private and institutional collections, including that of the Fondation Blachère.

Pick up in the gallery or sent by an international Art shipping conpany, It can be purchased in its current condition or mounted on an appropriate wooden frame, which will significantly increase transport costs - especially abroad. It seems to be better if the buyer has the rolled canvas mounted on a wooden frame at the reception location.
