Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork depicts a small golden figurine enclosed within a glass dome. The figure has an abstract, stylized appearance, with minimal details and a smooth, reflective surface. The composition is centered and symmetrical, emphasizing the prominence of the figure. The use of the glass dome creates a sense of preciousness and isolation, drawing the viewer's attention to the metallic sculpture. This piece likely comments on themes of cultural heritage, mysticism, or the human condition, reflecting the artist's intention to explore universal concepts through a minimalist, modernist aesthetic. ...

Dimitri Fagbohoun
B.1972, Beninese

Dimitri Fagbohoun was born in 1972 from a Beninese father and an Ukrainian mother, in Cotonou, Benin. Being raised in Cameroon before settling in France, where he lives and works now, the thematics and questions he raises are reflecting his course and history, between geographic and artistic borders. His work is then inseparable of his own life experience and of his plural identity. Protean, by the heterogeneous forms he uses, video, photography, installation, he expresses a relationship to identity and personal history within which his writing is disturbing the models that constitute them. From this tension results the emerging of other visions and new forms. As he conceives his artistic work to be an open field of propositions, his use of video, between experimentation and cinematographic form, goes to the limit of cinema and visual arts, changing the frontiers between those practices. He documents the notions he explores, thus producing mental representations of the visual territories he created. Many of his videos are linked to sound creations and exhale a quasi schizophrenic dimension of the thematics he deals with : identity, memory, religion, politics. ...

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. ...
