Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This striking contemporary artwork features a bold visual composition. The central focus is a black, organic shape that dominates the canvas, reminiscent of a surreal, abstract interpretation of a head or helmet. Surrounding this central element are splatters of vibrant yellow and blue paint, adding dynamism and energy to the piece. The overall impression is one of tension and movement, with the dark shape contrasting sharply against the lighter, expressive brushstrokes. The artist's unique style and technique suggest an intention to challenge traditional depictions and invite the viewer to ponder the deeper symbolism or meaning behind this visually captivating work. ...

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. ...
