Dominique Zinkpè was born in Cotonou in 1969. He lives and works in Bénin. He was quick to gain recognition, having won numerous prizes, notably at the 2002 Dakar Biennale. Equally skilled in the diverse forms of artistic expression that are sculpture, drawing, painting and installation, Zinkpè is without doubt one of the most well-rounded and prolific artists of his time.
He epitomizes the idea Jacqueline de Romilly expressed during her welcoming speech at the Académie française : "Thinking gains in precision as vocabulary gains in diversity."
Dominique Zinkpè est né en 1969 à Cotonou. Il vit et travaille au Bénin. Il s'est fait remarquer très tôt en gagnant de nombreux prix, notamment celui de la Biennale de Dakar en 2002. Aussi à l'aise et triomphant dans la sculpture, le dessin, la peinture et l'installation, Zinkpè s'impose comme un des artistes les plus complets et les plus prolixes de son temps. Il illustre à merveille le propos de Jacqueline de Romilly lors de son discours de réception à l'Académie française : « La pensée gagne en précision ce que le vocabulaire gagne en diversité ».
