31 PROJECT presents the first solo exhibition of the artist Pierre Segoh in Europe.
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. Lover of 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.
