Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This abstract artwork features a striking composition of geometric shapes, bold colors, and architectural elements. The left panel depicts a cubist-inspired arrangement of angular forms and patterns, while the right side showcases a more surreal, dreamlike scene with arched doorways and a solitary figure. The contrasting styles and perspectives create a dynamic interplay, suggesting themes of duality, introspection, and the interplay between the physical and the metaphysical. The artist's use of vibrant blues, greens, and browns, along with the distinctive cubist and expressionist techniques, reflects the innovative spirit of the early 20th-century avant-garde art movements. ...

Artist
Carl-Edouard Keïta
B.1992

Born in 1992 in Abidjan, Carl-Edouard Keïta now lives and works in New York. A 2021 graduate of the New York Academy of Art, Carl-Edouard Keïta also won the prize for best draughtsman for his graduation work, some of which is presented in this group exhibition. Carl-Edouard Keïta discovered the history of African art during his economics studies in Atlanta, through a course offered at his university. As he describes it himself, this discovery was a real aesthetic revelation for him. Fascinated by lines, straight or curved, since his childhood, he became passionate about drawing, and was inspired by traditional, modern and contemporary references. From the angular forms of African statuary to the geometric decompositions of cubism, via the Ivorian vohou-vohou, Carl-Edouard Keïta’s influences are numerous and create bridges between eras and continents. Initially self-taught, then an art student, Carl-Edouard Keïta perfected his mastery of the pencil over the years, attached to the idea that pencil drawing, behind its apparent simplicity, can become the site of a true search for aesthetic sophistication and conceptual complexity. The sobriety of the pencil is synonymous for the artist with freedom. Keïta’s drawings show a great mastery of composition, each work carrying a story, a narrative. The decomposition of the bodies of the represented figures into several geometrically shaped elements can be understood as being mimetic of a movement of unveiling and deconstruction of the subjects addressed in his works, from the visible to the hidden. ...

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. ...
