Pursuing his pictorial exploration of Cameroon's agricultural regions, which began in a banana plantation in Njombé-Penja, Marc Padeu now takes us on a journey to a cacao plantation a few kilometres from Yaoundé with his new exhibition, Dans la plantation. And he does it through paintings that, though having a realistic starting point that he acknowledges is not what interests him the most, surprise visitors and even himself. Being a lover of the freedom that this creative discipline grants him and a declared fan of some Old Masters such as Velázquez and Caravaggio, Padeu says he wants to paint more outdoor scenes this year.
