We are thrilled to announce our debut participation in this year’s 1-54 Art Fair with a booth dedicated to Senegalese artist Gora Mbengue (1931-1988 ), renowned for his mastery of reverse glass painting. Rooted in Senegal’s rich artistic traditions, Mbengue’s work explores themes of identity, spirituality, and cultural heritage through vivid colour and all date from the 1980s.
Alongside Mbengue, the presentation features Malick Sidibé and Seydou Keïta - two iconic photographers whose works have been central to the gallery’s program since its inception. Their celebrated portraits of mid-20th century Mali provide a compelling dialogue with Mbengue’s practice, reflecting a shared visual language that captures the nuances of African identity and history.
