Didier Viodé

While studying at the National Higher Institute of Art in Abidjan, Didier Viodé left Côte d'Ivoire at a time when it was sinking into a political impasse. He came to continue his artistic studies in France. The discovery of the FLUXUS movement, which advocates that everything is art, will be decisive in his artistic research. He begins to use insignificant materials such as cardboard, plastic, hessian, old newspapers that he glues directly to different supports. His inspiration comes from the street, his environment, society and the media. He observes Man, paints, photographs and films his daily life. He places the human being at the heart of his concerns, news and media images are thus restored through committed works.
