ABDIAS NGATEU























































AMAZING AFRICA


1/8 – 6/9/2020

Since his adolescence and while still completing his
secondary schooling, Cameroonian artist Abdias Ngateu,
became aware of his abiding interest in drawing and
graphic arts. Only 14 years old, he began his formal
training in graphic and decorative arts. Hungry for

knowledge, he participated in artists' workshops, various
training programs and artistic residencies. Endowed with
a strong will, he was integrated into the very closed circle

of artists of his country.

in 2017 during the S.U.D 2017 Triennal and the "Young

Promising Price" of the International Biennal of Naive Art
