Bio
Baptiste was born in 1981. He is French and he lives in Noisy le Sec (France). He is part of
Atelier Badialan
, a band of artists located in Bamako, where he lived during 8 years. Until now, he only paints on cardboard.
Why cardboard ? Can we touch time ? Can we make territories disappear ? Do we live together in megalopolis ? Can I create my own toponymy ? What’s about utopias ? And exhibitions ? What does abstraction tell about us ? What's an identity ? Who comes from Africa ? What do media tell us ? What's about binationals ? Issues are numerous...
