Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a striking red and yellow fabric sculpture suspended from a metal rod, creating a visually captivating composition. The vibrant colors and organic, bulbous shape give the piece a whimsical and playful quality, while the simple, minimalist presentation allows the sculptural form to take center stage. The artist's use of raw, industrial materials juxtaposed with the soft, billowing fabric suggests a tension between the natural and the manmade, inviting the viewer to consider the interplay between these contrasting elements. The artwork's title and the artist's intention behind this piece are not provided, leaving room for the viewer to interpret the work's deeper meaning and symbolism. ...

Binta Diaw
Artist
Binta Diaw
B.1995, Italian/Senegalese

Often deployed in the form of installations of varying dimensions, Binta Diaw's plastic research is part of a philosophical reflection on the social phenomena that define our contemporary world, such as migration, the notion of belonging and the question of gender. Earth, chalk, rope but also synthetic hair or rolled flags are some of the materials that form the artist's plastic language. In her works, Binta Diaw places great emphasis on the physical and sensory experience, forcing the viewer to recognise his or her place in the world and the place of his or her experience in front of the work. The artist constantly challenges the dominance of a Eurocentric perspective. Nourishing her quest with the contributions of intersectionality and feminism, Binta Diaw takes us on an exploration of the multiple layers of identity; hers as a black woman in a Europeanized world; ours and that of a continent at the crossroads of history and geographies. ...

Galerie Cécile Fakhoury
Abidjan, Paris, Dakar

Galerie Cecile Fakhoury opened its doors in Abidjan, Ivory Coast in September 2012. In May 2018, the gallery inaugurated its second space in Dakar, Senegal and a showroom in Paris, France. Shortly after, in March 2020, a new project space dedicated to emerging artists from Africa opened in Abidjan. In October 2021, Galerie Cecile Fakhoury inaugurated another gallery, opening in the 8th arrondissement of Paris on Avenue Matignon. The gallery promotes contemporary art from Africa and the Diaspora by providing visibility to the artistic diversity and creative spirit from the continent. Through its programming of solo and group exhibitions, participation in international art fairs, biennales, and collaboration with international galleries, Cecile Fakhoury is a leading force putting contemporary African art on the global map. The artists represented by the gallery are distinguished by their cultural identities and stories, they create a new language that crosses geographical boundaries and familiarities. They are observers of the world they live in, critics of society, and committed to their positions living within complex histories. In turn, they ask us to reconsider our own relation to the world. ...
