Romuald Hazoumè’s astute and sardonically political oeuvre is realised in a diverse range of media, including multi-media installation, sculpture, video, photography and painting.

Using the ubiquitous plastic petrol can as his iconic signature, Hazoumè undertakes monumental installations that act as metaphors of African place, history and identity. Hazoumè’s work takes aim at complex subjects from political corruption to migration.

In 2007, Hazoumè was awarded the Arnold Bode Prize at Documenta 12, Kassel. He has been shown in major international galleries and museums, including the British Museum, London; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; and more.
