Description
My work is created by layering flat areas of acrylic paint on cotton canvas, and the overlap of the elements very clearly evokes the community of fate between humans and the forest, i.e. nature as a whole. Because the rate at which the world's forests are disappearing puts human survival at risk.
This overlap also reinforces, on the one hand, my crazy dream of reforesting the world, and on the other, the idea that humans can exist through built structures without the need to make forests disappear. Humans must become more aware of forests and communities of destiny
"Java Plum" belongs to Fotso's ‘Health in Nature’ series, which illuminates health through medicinal plants. As the ecosystems from which these plants originate continue to be at risk (deforestation, pollution leading to global warming, etc.), the risk of biodiversity loss increases.

# [Fotso Gunsi Bienvenue]
Bienvenue Fotso is a visual artist based in Douala, Cameroon. Her artistic practice, which she terms "archi-landscapes," delicately explores the interconnected relationship between humanity and nature. Her work spans painting, photography, and video, with notable exhibitions including her debut solo show ‘FIPAN-GRASS’ (African Art Beats Gallery, Washington 2022), and group exhibitions such as "The Place of the Human" (Douala 2017); "TODAY" (Yaoundé 2019) at the National Museum; "A Vision Contemporary Act VIII" (Yaoundé 2018) at the World Bank headquarters; and Artu’Elles Interferences (2020) at the Annie Kadji Art Gallery. Fotso received her training at the Futur’Art association, a collective dedicated to the training and promotion of young artists since 2015.
Fotso's work often highlights the risk of losing ancient knowledge of the healing properties of plants, developed over thousands of years, preserved in the memory of ancient people and passed down orally from generation to generation.
