Ouattara Watts (born May 27, 1957) is an Ivory Coast-born[1] American artist[2] known for his multimedia paintings that incorporate African and Western aesthetics and depict themes of spirituality and modernity.[3] His work has been exhibited in reputable collections internationally,[4] and he is classified by Christie's as a "Top Artist."[5]
Watts studied at l'École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France.[6]
In Paris, he met Jean-Michel Basquiat at an exhibition opening in January 1988. Basquiat was impressed by Watts's paintings and convinced him to move to New York City. They had a very short but important collaboration.[7] In the documentary Basquiat, Une Vie, Watts was filmed in his studio, working and talking about Basquiat.[8]
Watts has spent much of his career in New York.
