Brown-Kossi, Ghislain

Ghislain Brown-Kossi’s work looks at the tensions between memory, belonging, and identity through pieces that fuse symbols, tactile materials, and contemporary visual languages. His works do not depict, they bear witness: they speak of exile, heritage, and invisible borders. They activate a sensitive, fragmented memory shaped by migration, erasure, and reassembled links.

He calls this approach “Archaeological Pop Art” an art of excavation, but also of reconstruction, using familiar and reinvented signs. 

Rooted in his multicultural background and African heritage, he engages in an ongoing inquiry into universal symbolism and the materiality of belonging in dialogue with contemporary languages of design, digital culture, and textiles.
