In his first solo exhibition in Japan, Cameroonian artist Barth\u00e9l\u00e9my Toguo reflects on nature, ritual, migration, and what it means to create in communion with place.<\/p>\n

SLEEK <\/strong>You\u2019ve just completed a residency in Yoshino and are now exhibiting at Space Un<\/em>, your first solo show in Japan. How did this change of scenery and rhythm influence your work?<\/p>\n

Barth\u00e9l\u00e9my Toguo <\/strong>Yoshino had a profound impact on me, a lush landscape of hills, trees, and rivers, surrounding a peaceful village. It was an idyllic place to create, and I felt deeply connected to nature. That immersion helped me engage with Japanese deities, which I honoured in my paintings using washi<\/em> paper, inspired by the Kojiki<\/em>, the sacred Shinto text. I also collaborated with a 93-year-old ceramicist, one of Yoshino\u2019s last, to produce ceramics featured in an installation at the centre of the exhibition.<\/p>\n

S <\/strong>Space Un<\/em> is marking its first anniversary with your exhibition, a fitting moment. What drew you to this collaboration?<\/p>\n

BT <\/strong>It was a beautiful match. The gallery team supported every step, especially in enabling my collaboration with the ceramicist. That care elevated the entire production. In the end, we created a true visual symphony.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":121713,"id":121713,"title":"5","filename":"5-1.jpg","filesize":709803,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/5-1.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/barthelemy-toguo-the-journey-of-making\/5-49\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"5-49","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":121708,"date":"2025-06-19 10:05:28","modified":"2025-06-19 10:05:28","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1411,"height":1920,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/5-1.jpg","thumbnail-width":71,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/5-1.jpg","medium-width":1411,"medium-height":1920,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/5-1.jpg","medium_large-width":1411,"medium_large-height":1920,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/5-1.jpg","large-width":1411,"large-height":1920,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/5-1-1129x1536.jpg","1536x1536-width":1129,"1536x1536-height":1536,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/5-1.jpg","2048x2048-width":1411,"2048x2048-height":1920,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/5-1.jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":9,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/5-1.jpg","wpvr_mobile-width":1411,"wpvr_mobile-height":1920}},{"ID":121711,"id":121711,"title":"Image 3","filename":"Image-3.jpeg","filesize":363190,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Image-3.jpeg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/barthelemy-toguo-the-journey-of-making\/image-3-6\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"image-3-6","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":121708,"date":"2025-06-19 10:04:51","modified":"2025-06-19 10:04:51","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1365,"height":2048,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Image-3.jpeg","thumbnail-width":64,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Image-3.jpeg","medium-width":1365,"medium-height":2048,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Image-3.jpeg","medium_large-width":1365,"medium_large-height":2048,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Image-3.jpeg","large-width":1365,"large-height":2048,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Image-3-1024x1536.jpeg","1536x1536-width":1024,"1536x1536-height":1536,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Image-3.jpeg","2048x2048-width":1365,"2048x2048-height":2048,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Image-3.jpeg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":8,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Image-3.jpeg","wpvr_mobile-width":1365,"wpvr_mobile-height":2048}}],"settings":{"fit_width":"6","caption":"LEFT Beauty of Nature 1 (God of Earth), 2025.

S <\/strong>Your practice flows between painting, sculpture, installation, and performance. Do ideas shape the medium, or can material dictate the message?<\/p>\n

BT <\/strong>The place, its history, and energy always come first. I was eager to work with washi<\/em> paper, and used it to portray ten Japanese deities. I\u2019m passionate about paper \u2013 each kind offers something unique. I\u2019ve also grown more interested in working with artisans, and my exchange with the ceramicist in Yoshino was very emotional. The village\u2019s raw nature inspired a large tree-based installation, using Yoshino wood, naturally.<\/p>\n

S <\/strong>Migration, displacement, and identity recur in your work. How do these themes surface in your new pieces?<\/p>\n

BT <\/strong>I symbolised movement using mythical animals, especially on ceramic plates. I also felt a strong connection between Japanese animism and African traditions, exploring that world of sun, fire, and sea gods brought me back to a spiritual space that felt very familiar. In ceramics, I created ovoid forms like small boats, vessels for today\u2019s displaced. I decorated them with botanical motifs drawn from my visual language.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":121709,"id":121709,"title":"Image 1","filename":"Image-1.jpeg","filesize":230667,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Image-1.jpeg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/barthelemy-toguo-the-journey-of-making\/image-1-5\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"image-1-5","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":121708,"date":"2025-06-19 10:04:46","modified":"2025-06-19 10:04:46","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":2048,"height":1365,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Image-1.jpeg","thumbnail-width":128,"thumbnail-height":85,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Image-1.jpeg","medium-width":2048,"medium-height":1365,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Image-1.jpeg","medium_large-width":2048,"medium_large-height":1365,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Image-1.jpeg","large-width":2048,"large-height":1365,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Image-1-1536x1024.jpeg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1024,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Image-1.jpeg","2048x2048-width":2048,"2048x2048-height":1365,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Image-1.jpeg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":18,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Image-1.jpeg","wpvr_mobile-width":2048,"wpvr_mobile-height":1365}}],"settings":{"fit_width":"10","caption":"Photography by Tsukasa Ohtou and Kiyoshi Nishioka.

BT <\/strong>They reflect ongoing challenges of mobility.
