Ivorian artist Pascal Konan examines the African identity in a globalised world in latest exhibition

JOHANNESBURG – Pascal Konan, an Ivorian artist whose work crosses national borders, is adamant about producing works that have worldwide resonance. 

In addition to providing a critique of current socioeconomic situations, his purposeful use of symbolic codes and approachable visual languages connects audiences worldwide with the uniqueness of African urbanity and invites them to envision a more peaceful future.

Through the deft use of a variety of materials and fractured figuration, Konan’s work at the Melrose Gallery in Melrose Arch, Johannesburg, from 8 February to 9 March 2025, offers a moving meditation on resiliency, metamorphosis, and continuity.
