Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This surreal artwork features a figure leaping amidst a vibrant, dreamlike cityscape. The bold colors, ranging from warm ochres to cool purples, create a striking visual contrast. The composition emphasizes the central figure's dynamic movement, juxtaposed against the geometric, almost cubist skyscrapers below. The artist employs a mix of realism and abstraction, blending representational elements with a stylized, almost fantastical urban landscape. This piece appears to explore themes of human expression and the relationship between the individual and the modern metropolis. ...

Artist
Mariam Abouzid Souali
B.1989, Moroccan

Mariam Abouzid Souali's works plunge us into a universe linked to childhood: that of play. Alone or in groups, the artist's childlike figures evolve in landscapes of familiar architecture, yet always imbued with a disturbing strangeness.Motorway interchanges, mining fields, industrial ports seem to take on a new meaning through the cohabitation with those beings who are normally absent from them: children.The juxtaposition between these two worlds, the world of childhood play that the artist links to the rural world, and the world of liberal globalisation, allows Mariam Abouzid Souali to weave sensitive links and leads us to question the function of our multi-speed world, its inequalities of development and the destruction caused by the frantic race for development. ...

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. ...
