Nihckasson (Mohamed Diabate) is
an artist based in Abidjan, Cote D’Ivoire, West Africa, whose
artwork explores a diversity of media. He works within the realm
of the "conscience" and
maintains a continuous dialogue on the many realities of life and
living: violence, peace, poverty, ecology, AIDS, exclusion. His
work has been shown in solo and group exhibitions across Africa and
in France and he is also the author of various
unpublished literary works.
