Julien Sinzogan b 1957, Benin.
Lives and works in Paris. His work is defined by 2 things, Yoruba culture, (specifically Vodun religion) and African slavery. In this way he stands as a visual interpreter of the collective unconsciousness of his nation and the whole continent. Other recurring themes are around the relationship of man with nature and everyday contexts of life in Benin.
