Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a surreal and macabre composition of a teddy bear-like figure adorned with a stack of skulls and contrasted by delicate floral elements. The muted color palette of grays and blacks creates a somber tone, while the playful yet unsettling nature of the subject matter suggests a commentary on the duality of life and death. The artist's distinctive style blends elements of realism and abstraction, employing techniques that evoke a sense of fluidity and emotional resonance. This striking piece may reflect on the fragility of existence and the complex relationship between innocence and mortality. ...

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. ...
