More about Artist: Gbaguidi, Tôkpéou G.S.

Despite progressive equality, she is still not equal to men in many areas of life, both professionally and privately. This is shown, among other things. in that women predominantly perform unpaid tasks, such as looking after children or relatives, or are less represented in management positions and are paid less. This picture is a plaidoyer to support the equality of women with even more vehemence.
The man (see mixed media picture 'The Man') plays a crucial role in this. Equality, as the word implies, requires a shared vision and effort of both genders. If men and women want to meet at eye level, compromises, insight or foresight and the ability to take a step back or step forward are required.

Tôkpéou Gbaguidi has worked as a visual artist since 1998. He uses paintings, installations, and sculptures to convey his messages. His works have been exhibited in Benin, Nigeria, Kenya, UK, France, Poland and Germany- his residence today.

Tôkpéou, born January 20, 1975 in Porto Novo, Benin, originally studied computer science. He later gave up his profession as programmer and graphic artist in order to fulfil his desire, quench his curiosity and realize his need to communicate through his art.

His artistic reflections, thoughts and concepts are the product of his surrounding environs. He is inspired by observations of daily life occurrences, nourished by numerous political and cultural elements.
