The artwork features a striking sculptural piece composed of contrasting materials and forms. The central figure is a dark, brooding ceramic head with prominent features and a pensive expression. Emerging from the side of the head is a vibrant, golden element that appears to be bursting forth, creating a dramatic juxtaposition of textures and colors. The overall composition suggests a sense of duality, with the dark and light aspects intertwining to create a visually compelling and thought-provoking work. The artist's use of diverse materials and the contrast between the ceramic and metallic components lend the piece a captivating and enigmatic quality, inviting the viewer to ponder the underlying meaning and symbolism. ...
Victor Fotso Nyie artistic research brings him to explore human varietyand its beauty. Today, unfortunately, we live in a world that pretends to be open, but which is in fact afraid of differences.

The name P420 is inspired by Pantone 420, a universally recognized shade of grey known for its ability to serve as the perfect background, enhancing whatever it accompanies. P420 thus emerges as a platform whose primary aim is to embrace and elevate artistic ideas and expressions, fostering their harmonious coexistence within a context that supports, encourages, and celebrates diversity and innovation. Here, every voice can resonate powerfully and distinctly, much like a work of art standing out against the backdrop of Pantone 420.
P420 has been instrumental in the rediscovery of artists such as Irma Blank, Laura Grisi, Ana Lupas, and Stephen Rosenthal, collaborating directly with the artists or, when necessary, with their heirs or the Estates representing them. Through exhibitions, off-site projects, fairs, and a strong online presence, the gallery also supports the evolving narratives of contemporary art, initiating and supporting the journey of many young emerging talents like Victor Fotso Nyie, Francis Offman, and Shafei Xia. ...
