No one can reach dawn without passing through the path of night.
Biography
Born in 1996 in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, Prohouly Eboua Joseph lives and works in Abidjan.
In 2014 he began his studies in plastic arts at INSAAC where he learned the fundamentals of painting which became his favorite medium.
After graduation, he quickly became known through his various personal and collective exhibitions. Thus the artist participates in 2019 in the collective exhibition AFRICA NOW at the Reto Andri Galerie de Switzerland gallery in Switzerland and in the collective exhibition at the Rotonde des arts gallery in Abidjan in Ivory Coast.
Joseph PROHOULY discovered his passion for drawing at a very young age. This affinity with art is created naturally and over time it matures and allows the artist to build an artistic identity that combines imagination and personal experience. From then on he manages to identify, structure his artistic approach, to assert himself, to merge with the canvas in order to produce atypical works which tend to represent his vision of the world and his states of mind. Feelings and emotions that have been increasingly felt in Prohouly's productions since the sudden loss of his parents. Prohouly's work presents the raw view he has of the world, of contemporary society. A look without complacency, without artifice where the world is revealed in all colors.
