Cameroonian artist Jean David Nkot’s first solo exhibition, “Human@Condition,” is on view at AFIKARIS Gallery in Paris through July 7.
Previously focused on the topic of migration, Nkot expands on his exploration of the human condition, examining its ties to the physical landscape through the lens of mining in Africa. Nkot superimposes his portraits onto a complex layering of maps, economic data, and geopolitical norms, thereby focusing on the individuals at its roots. The exhibition features a newly edited monograph of Nkot’s work, following a continuous program of curated group exhibitions and off-site projects presented in its previous Paris showroom, online and international art fairs.
