Pascale Marthine Tayou

Pascale Marthine Tayou (born 1966) is a Cameroonian artist born in Nkongsamba, Cameroon. He lives and works in Ghent, Belgium and in Yaoundé, Cameroon.

He began his career as an artist in the 1990s, and has carried out exhibitions in Cameroon, Germany, France, and Belgium, among others. His work combines various mediums and seeks to artistically redefine postcolonial culture and raise questions about globalisation and modernity. Formerly known as Pascal Marthin Tayou, he changed his name to Pascale Marthine Tayou in the 1990s, thus distancing himself ironically from the importance of artistic authorship and male/female ascriptions. He is represented by Galleria Continua. Provided by Wikipedia
