Ludovic Nkoth, a Cameroon-born New York-based figurative painter, was recently the inaugural recipient of a residency run by Académie des Beaux-Arts and Cité internationale des arts in Paris. In October 2023, Nkoth presented a series of new works at Le Corbusier’s Maison La Roche, becoming the second living artist in the villa’s history to exhibit there and was among a group of artists invited by Christian Dior to customize their Lady Dior bag with their art.
