Yann Stéphane Bisso

"Landscape painting is like free jazz," says Yann Stéphane Bisso (*1998). He combines various elements in free improvisation, light and water being important components. Water as vapor, liquid or ice, and above all in the form of clouds, serves him as an image of mutability, of identity and its fluidity. In his works, the artist reflects on cultural heritage, on its circulation, reoccurrence and reinterpretation. His origin in Cameroonprovides the background for this examination, along with his childhood in France and his studies in Switzerland. For life, memories and legacies are grounded in change and offer a great diversity of perspectives.
