Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This vibrant and captivating artwork features a pair of striking masks. The colors, ranging from earthy tones to rich reds and yellows, create a bold and visually arresting composition. The masks, with their exaggerated expressions and protruding features, evoke a sense of primal energy and emotion. The artist's use of expressive brushstrokes and a textured background adds depth and dynamism to the piece. This work appears to draw inspiration from traditional African masks, exploring themes of identity, ritual, and the human experience with a contemporary artistic approach. ...

Gallery

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. ...
