His work always encompasses elements of social criticism, questions surrounding borders/migration and symbols of domination in an era of globalization. Colonial past of his country plays a major role in his work.

He later moved to Brussels and Paris, where he continued his studies. He currently divides his time between Doubla and Antwerp. A multimedia artist, he also researches the relationship between art and technology at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam. Wouet\u0026eacute; is inspired by contemporary social reality in Europe and Africa, creating sculptures, installations and photos focusing on themes such as oppression, migration, pollution, and alienation to break down conventional attitudes that nourish discrimination.\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify\"\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color:#fefffe\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:black\"\u003eDuring his childhood in Doubla, Guy Wouet\u0026eacute; trained as a mechanic because his mother cautioned him \u0026quot;to think about his future\u0026quot;. Every day, as he walked home from school on foot, he passed the work of a local sculptor, which fuelled his admiration and interest in the visual arts. A few years later, this same sculptor trained Guy Wouet\u0026eacute; to become an artist. After his first shows in 2005, he received the Thami Mnyele Award in 2006, named after South African artist and freedom fighter Thamsanqa (Thami) Mnyele (1948-1985), who was involved in the anti-apartheid politics of the African National Congress and the Black Consciousness Movement. \u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:justify\"\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color:#fefffe\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:black\"\u003eIn line with Mnyele\u0026#39;s idea of liberation, Guy Wouet\u0026eacute; feels that creating art is not an end \u0026quot;but an opportunity to take an honest look at and reflect on our era\u0026quot;. The artist does this with installations and sculptures made from simple materials (rope, stuffed animals, totem poles, cages with PET bottles) and posed self-portraits with different types of prominently displayed vegetables.
