Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The vibrant artwork features a prominent circular motif in shades of red, set against a dark background adorned with abstract geometric shapes and patterns. The central composition, resembling a spiraling cyclone or vortex, is juxtaposed with playful, almost childlike elements such as the colorful geometric shapes and symbols. The overall style and technique suggest a fusion of surrealism and folk art, creating a dreamlike, imaginative atmosphere. The context of this piece likely reflects the artist's personal exploration of themes of chaos, balance, and the relationship between the natural and the spiritual realms. ...

Ouattara Watts
B.1957, American

Through vibrant colors, dynamic shapes, and hypnotic signs and symbols, Ouattara Watts explores the spiritual bonds that transcend geography and nationality. By merging found objects, photographs, and raw materials, Watts' paintings invoke the artist's multicultural identity and offer various levels of readings, socially and historically. With lyricism and wit, Watts conjures imaginary worlds and magical visions, both urban and ancestral, to contemplate the metaphysical relationships between beings. ...

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. ...
