"To be is to change by exchanging with the other while remaining oneself."
said Edouard Glissant.
Born in 53 in Paris (Fr) in a family of Artists, I was trained off the beaten track. Travelling has made me a kind of migrant, particularly sensitive to the diversity of points of view.

The experience of settling for twenty years in a working class neighbourhood in West Africa had such a highly beneficial influence on my life that I applied for and am proud to have obtained Burkinabe nationality. My work has found an international audience (USA, Caribbean, Africa, Europe, China). It explores, both in the studio and in public encounters in what I call Sociable Art projects, the unifying impact on our relationships of Recognition in all its aspects: exploration, identification, gratification, gratitude, recognition of self, of other and/or of common sense.

After some fifteen years devoted primarily to the development of "Sociable Art" projects, I am once again showing my work in the studio. Painting, just like life, offers us to share an unlimited field of investigation combining ethics and aesthetics. This is a great opportunity.

"Opening up to the unknown that comes from the encounter."
Edouard Glissand
 
The gaze is loosened by seeing oneself through the eyes of the other. Particularities are asserted. Preconceptions are destabilized. For better or for worse, the fallen angels rise up.  Let's hope that the lifestyles will learn from each other.
I extract from random spots produced with greasy ink by monotype printing, the images that my intuition detects there.
