Alexis Daniel Onguene Tassi, is a Cameroonian artist whose realist paintings capture the struggles and resilience of everyday life in Africa’s urban spaces. Through bold colour and figurative detail, he portrays individuals engaged in informal work, reflecting on themes of urbanisation, economic displacement, and survival. Food, agriculture, and post-colonial realities feature strongly in his work, highlighting the complex ties between history and contemporary society. His work draws directly from lived experiences in Bafoussam, Douala, and Nkongsamba, regions marked by shifting economic conditions and urban growth.
