Cédric Tchinan

Presentation

Cédric Tchinan was born in 1994 in Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire), where he now lives and works. After graduating from the Lycée d'Enseignement Artistique de Cocody, he continued his training at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts d'Abidjan. He graduated top of his class in 2020. The artist has always been fascinated by the world in motion and the interactions between human beings. In so doing, he translates into his work his perception of these dynamics, of the relationships between beings and his personal relationship with them. For the artist, the line represents the fragile link that binds us together. As such, he uses a simple, expressive style of writing, akin to scribbling; the optical effect emphasizes his sensitivity and the aesthetics of his work. This work questions our relationships with others and the very essence of life in the quest for happiness.
