Beninese visual artist Paterne Dokou explores painting, sculpture, photography, and textiles, drawing on a rich self-taught and academic background. His Cut and Paste technique combines Xwéda scarification, recycled materials (rubber, burlap), and a cutting and collage gesture evoking traces and repair. Through his profound, hybrid style, he weaves powerful narratives about memory, identity, and collective resilience, conveying an intense emotion of dialogue between past and present, tradition and modernity, without ever forgetting ecological responsibility.
