Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary artwork features a striking visual composition dominated by bold, expressive brushstrokes. The painting depicts two figures, one a man in a formal suit with a bow tie, and the other a woman adorned with jewelry. The figures are rendered in a stylized, abstract manner, with their faces and features softened and distorted, conveying a sense of dreamlike, emotional intensity. The cool, muted color palette of blues and grays creates an atmospheric, introspective mood. The artist's distinctive technique, blending realism and abstraction, suggests a commentary on the human condition and the interplay between the inner and outer worlds. This piece reflects the artist's unique artistic vision and engagement with the complexities of the human experience. ...

Artist
Kambui Olujimi

As a renowned artist on the New York scene, Kambui Olujimi has been exploring the collective psyche for decades. His sensitive, humorous aesthetic highlights the implicit links between unchecked modes of thinking within contemporary society and the intertwined legacies of colonialism and imperialism. Olujimi draws these "inevitabilities" from the register of the ineffable to make them visible by giving them form and meaning, thus revealing their emptiness. Through a multimedia artistic practice that includes video, sculpture, painting, and installation, Olujimi unfolds a poignant body of work, articulated as a series of political and social commentaries. Historical facts and scientific curiosities mingle with powerful poetry that awakens among viewers a deep sensitivity as an alternative way to apprehend the world. ...

In October 2021, Galerie Cecile Fakhoury inaugurated another gallery, opening in the 8th arrondissement of Paris on Avenue Matignon.

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. ...
