This abstract painting features a striking composition of earthy tones and dynamic shapes. The canvas is dominated by warm, textured brushstrokes in shades of brown and beige, creating a sense of depth and movement. Amidst the abstracted forms, a central white shape emerges, suggesting a fragmented hand or organic structure. The artist's bold, gestural style and the use of contrasting dark and light tones lend the piece a powerful, emotive quality.

Born in 1996 in Reims, Thibaut Bouedjoro-Camus now lives and works in Paris.
A graduate of the Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2021, Thibaut Bouedjoro-Camus proposes a sensitive, poetic plastic writing, where the materiality of the paint and the figuration of the forms come to suggest the invisible, that which is not given to the eye but is guessed at by the senses.

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. ...
