Kiki Bokassa
Kiki Bokassa (born 1975, Paris, France)[1] is an autodidact conceptual artist, who works in the expressionist, figurative art genre.[1][2] She has paintings in private collections in the Persian Gulf and USA.[2] She was brought up in Lebanon and has exhibited widely in Beirut and overseas.[1]
In April 2009, Bokassa created an immersive art event in Beirut entitled ‘72 hrs’, in which she painted for 72 hours continuously as a peaceful form of expression in self-imposed incarceration. The work took place in a giant canvas cube at Laboratoire d'Art. The event came to the attention of more than 30 international media outlets and was reported in at least 74 countries.[1][3]
