Marc Padeu

Marc Padeu, an artist from Melong, Cameroon, draws inspiration from his daily life, creating works that blur the lines between the mundane and the monumental. His dynamic paintings depict figures in motion, exploring history, memory, and spirituality. Through skilful use of colour and composition, Padeu evokes emotional realms and incorporates elements from art history and religious imagery. His latest series delves into cocoa plantations as backdrops, pondering appropriation and domestication. Padeu's work invites contemplation on the intersection of European and African histories.
