Folly Teko
Born in Togo.

I am interested in contextual and engaged art. No vagueness, no abstraction in the purest sense of the words but the SPECIFIC in art; whether some may call it abstract or not. To underline that character in my works I refer to linguistic or interpretative aspects of CIRCUMSTANCES. (my) Life, my work are not only a biography of my person (which should be meant to stand as an eternal picture) but a photographic flash on a moment, a circumstance.

Contextual work wants to conquer not to accept or deny an issue. There is no necessity of invention although innovation can occur while the process is on the go; Or when circumstances enable it (accidentally).
