Cedric tchinan

Biography

Born in 1994 in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, Tchinan lives and works in Cocody Abatta. Artist Cédric Tchinan is a passionate observer of the constantly changing world and the interactions that forge bonds between human beings. This fascination with the dynamics of human relationships is transparent in each of his creations, revealing his personal perception of these connections. For Tchinan, the line is much more than a simple trace on the canvas; it embodies the fragile bond that unites us. His expressive artistic style is sometimes reminiscent of doodling, but it offers a striking visual effect that highlights his sensitivity and the profound aesthetic of his work. Through his works, the artist questions us about the nature of our relationships with others and the tireless quest for happiness. He invites us to contemplate the vast universe of "WE," to which we all contribute and which, in turn, shapes us. This "WE" takes various forms: that of family, friends, neighbors, all of humanity. On Tchinan's vibrantly colored canvases and within the arabesques of his continuous lines, scenes of daily life come to life. Everyone can identify with these sketched characters, recall a group of boisterous and mischievous neighborhood youth, be carried away by the contagious laughter of children at play, or find themselves in the shade of a tree during a family or friends gathering. In Tchinan's work, we perceive innocence, poetry, and a deep tenderness. The artist continues his journey with a smile on his lips and a contagious optimism that is transmitted in each creation. His art is an ode to human connections and the beauty that resides in life's simple moments.
