Tally Mbok, whose real name is Frank Elysée Mbok Mbok, is a young visual artist trained at the ATI (Mbalmayo Artistic Training Institute). He is interested in all plastic disciplines but is particularly passionate about painting. He has taken part in a few group exhibitions and painted murals in various towns in Cameroon. The artist proposes an installation made up of various elements (cardboard boxes, chairs, pieces of wood, a man, etc.), arranged in a certain order. Through this work, he questions urban artistic practice in African cities and its relationship to social and political problems.
