Djeka | Channeling His Ancestors
February 18 - March 26, 2024
Jean Baptiste Djeka is a visual artist from Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire. He received his formal training at the “Centre Technique des Arts Appliqués de Bingerville”, in Ivory Coast. Knowing that formal and classical art training is only one part of an artist’s journey, Djeka spent years learning alongside iconic Ivorian artists such as DIOMANDE, FADAÏRO, AUGUSTIN KASSI et STENKA. In his now over two decade long career, Djeka has exhibited all over the world in solo as well as group exhibitions. His repertoire is widely respected and well anchored in the totality of the West African art scene and he has participated in many artists residencies in Ivory Coast and beyond.
