What does the hairstyle say? Perhaps it reflects the daily dialogue of the young woman with her natural surroundings. Acrylic on cardstock, 65x90cm, 2023
[Bertin Talloh]
Bertin Talloh’s artistic journey was born in the bustling hair salons of Douala, Cameroon, where the communal spaces and the resilient women who frequented them touched him deeply. As the only boy in his family, he found inspiration among the wonderful and wild hairstyles that seemed to come alive there, each hairstyle telling a unique story of strength, confidence, and individuality. Guided by the teachings of his father’s workshops, Bertin's artistic vision began to take shape, blending vibrant pencil colors as skin tones to capture the universal kinship of femininity that transcends racial or country borders.
However, it was the mentorship of renowned Cameroonian artist Ajarb Bernard that propelled Bertin's talent to new heights. Invited into his studio to learn and grow with each season, Bertin's art evolved into a celebration of femininity and resilience, showcased in collective exhibitions such as Last Picture and Cot-Art, and later, at the esteemed French Institute of Douala and Yaoundé. His solo debut at the Logmo Makon Gallery, under the name TALLOH2, marked not just a milestone in his career, but a testament to the transformative power of mentorship and familial support, where each portrait tells a story of strength, beauty, and feminine kinship free from racial or country boundaries. Bertin Talloh was born on January 14, 2001.
From braids to boldness and buns to bravado, hairstyles give us confidence- a sense of belonging, rebelliousness, or daring expression. For Cameroon-based artist Bertin Talloh, "Kribi Party" is a jubilant tribute to the bustling hair salons of his youth. Born the only boy in his family, trips to these communal spaces brimming with creativity and individuality were always a case for celebration. In the party-like atmosphere inside, women transformed themselves and each other, bonding in their altered likeness. Rendered in vibrant hues to represent the universal nature of feminine kinship across racial or country lines, each of the four portraits in "Kribi Party" encapsulates a personal narrative told through the protagonist's hairstyle—a reflection of their identity, aspirations, or origins, personally crafted for the world to see.
