Artist Profile

Ndjantou Boris
French-Cameroonian self-taught sculptor
Ndjantou Boris is a French-Cameroonian self-taught sculptor. His artistic work highlights the singularity and subjectivity of his journey from his native Cameroon to his new home in France. He explores his double culture at the crossroads between Bamileke cosmogony and Western cosmology. One is borrowed from spirituality and utopia, while the other from materiality and physical reality. Ndjantou's woodwork is resolutely eco-responsible and open to the world. His inspirations are diverse, drawing on Eastern, Asian, European and African aesthetics. He takes particular care to respect wood as a natural material, without adding chemical inputs, while playing with textures, tones and effects.
