Salifou Lindou was born in 1965, in Foumban. A tiny town West Cameroon located, Foumban is well known abroad for its bronze handicraft labelled World Heritage, but not only. One cannot ignore the saga of Njoya; the beloved and enlighted sultan who reigned in the 19th century and has invented an ideography of his own: the so called shumon. Growing a kid and curious, Lindou went fascinated by the statuettes around, and namely their form: how do the craftsmen manage and succeed to produce these objects was absolutely intriguing. Fully aware of this, his devoted father used to take his son to the local museum settled within the royal palace. Ecstasy guaranteed for the little boy; of course: ’’It was like attending university courses’’ says Lindou today. Not surprisingly, at school, the drawing lesson was the best moment; a real must. Lindou has his first solo exhibition in 1996. Many years have gone by, far away from the cowries’ of the early season; and Lindou is now an experienced artist. Besides the conventional canvass, he uses sheets of iron, sometimes burned, as a medium to provide inspired visions of the urban machine. Seemingly taciturn; the Douala based artist is in fact very playful. Salfou Lindou is member of the Kapsiki group Leonel Manga
