Cameroon-born, New York-based Ludovic Nkoth uses acrylic paint to create bold and vibrant artworks with immense spontaneity, striking a balance between abstraction and figuration.
In Nkoth’s work, elegant brushstrokes are manifested in well-patterned lines, expressing the artist’s curiosity and his yearning for a conversation about his experience, or the similar experience of others. 'When I meet people or things I find interest in, I want to have a conversation, understand where they’re from, where they want to go, or what they are going through,' says Nkoth. 'And with a painting, I will sit there with them and try to question these things and figure out the answers or show what they are going through, in hopes that maybe I can see myself within that or someone else can see themselves within that work.'
