Tayou, who began studying law before deciding instead to become an artist, began exhibiting in the early 1990s – a time of political and social upheaval across West Africa. With works often produced in situ, Tayou is renowned for combining found and discarded objects and materials – often sourced locally – with a skilled and playful sense of craftsmanship.
“Boomerang” is produced by the Serpentine Galleries in collaboration with BOZAR, Centre for Fine Arts, Brussels.
