Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a vibrant and surreal composition. The bold, blue mask and the textured, abstract background create a visually striking contrast. The prominent use of dice and chains suggests a sense of chance, risk, and entrapment. The figure's pose, with hands covering the face, evokes a sense of mystery and concealment. The vivid colors, exaggerated features, and unconventional elements combine to convey a dreamlike, carnival-esque atmosphere. The artist's intention seems to explore themes of identity, choice, and the duality of perception through this imaginative and visually captivating piece. ...

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. ...

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. ...
