Jean David Nkot showcases African workers

Each month, we introduce the artist whose work is featured on the cover and at the beginning of the focus section of our monthly edition.

The painter and sculptor Jean David Nkot lives and works in Douala, Cameroon, where he was born in 1989. He is interested in North-South relations and addresses issues such as the exploitation of resources in Africa and the associated economic and political problems. In his work he also focuses on the effects of capitalism and industrialisation on people and the environment.
 

By granting workers the status of contemporary icons, Jean David Nkot seeks to counteract their lack of visibility and recognition. He invites us to rethink our economic model in order to protect both people and the planet.
