Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This vibrant and captivating contemporary artwork features a visage composed of collaged elements and layers of bold, expressive brushstrokes. The composition is a dynamic balance of vibrant colors, shapes, and textural details, including the prominent use of pink and yellow hues. The subject matter depicts a partially abstract, mask-like face, adorned with butterfly motifs and splashes of paint, suggesting themes of transformation and the subconscious. The distinctive style blends surrealist and expressionistic techniques, reflecting the artist's unique creative vision and a desire to push the boundaries of traditional portraiture. This work likely explores notions of identity, emotion, and the complexities of the human experience. ...

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. ...
