Ludovic Nkoth gazing towards the camera with one of his paintings behind him

Ludovic Nkoth2 collaborationsLudovic Nkoth blurs figuration and abstraction in expressive tributes to history, family and friends. Acrylic paint is his material of choice, attracted to its fast-drying quality which enables brisk, rhythmic brushstrokes inspired by music - which he always listens to in the studio. He also layers fabric and sand onto canvas, along with fluid washes of pigment. References to artists from the Harlem Renaissance like Charles White as well as European expressionists like Egon Schiele combine with traditional pattern, colour and dress from the artist’s Cameroonian heritage. Street life in his hometown of New York is also a key influence for the works. Celebrating Black pride and resilience, the compelling compositions explore memory, identity and history through an acutely personal lense.
