Ismail Zaidy (b.1997, Morocco) is a self taught photographic artist based in Marrakech. Many of his artworks are created from the rooftop of his family home incorporating found props and regularly includes family members as the subjects of his images. The close connection between the figures in his images is an important aspect of his practice. Zaidy often chooses to obscure the faces of his subjects to focus the viewers attention on the gestures and body positions of the figures, highlighting the bonds between them and to articulate the emotions he wants to express.
Collaborating with his siblings in an experimental and playful way also means they are often likely to preempt his intentions and actively participate in the artistic direction of the shoots. The result of this approach is a contemporary and meditative style, rich in colour.
“I’m trying to shine a light on certain subjects: a lack of communication, the distance between siblings and their parents, and family estrangement are problems that affect many but are rarely talked about, I’m trying to treat this issue poetically throughout my work, showing that family is one of the most valuable gifts in our lives.” – l4artiste

YOU ARE ENTERING THE LANDS OF THE PRINCE OF SHADOWS. HIS KINGDOM ISN’T RULED BY ANY LAW EXCEPT THE ONE OF LISTENING TO THEIR EYES, LED BY THEIR FEELINGS. SAÏDOU DICKO’S WORKS ARE LIKE MUSIC. THEY UNFOLD THROUGH
THE SPACE AND LEAVE THE VISITORS WITH CONTROL AND FREEDOM OF INTERPRETATION. THE WORDS DO NOT COUNT BUT HOW THE MELODY CARRIES YOU ALONG.
“THAT’S ALSO WHAT’S IMPORTANT TO ME. IT’S A BIG PART OF MY JOB TO LISTEN TO HOW PEOPLE INTERPRET AND FEEL ABOUT MY WORK. IT’S LIKE MUSIC, THERE’S NO TRANSLATION: YOU LISTEN, YOU LOOK AND THEN THERE YOU GO, NO NEED FOR INTERPRETATION. THAT’S HOW I DEFINE MY LITTLE WORKS, LIKE VISUAL MUSIC.”
Through painted photographs, drawings and works on fabric by Saïdou Dicko, the exhibition The Prince of Shadows mirrors the plurality of the artist’s work. It calls for the imagination and souvenirs of the visitors. If some questions arise, the viewers have to solve the mystery. Saïdou Dicko doesn’t hide any preconceived and universal solution. It is the viewers’ duty to project their personal feelings.
Who are these children who appear from one work to another? Where are they? What are they doing? It does not matter. Only creativity matters.

Night Veil by nabil_el_makhloufi, 2021. Nabil is showing with nilgalleryparis at this year’s 154artfair — staged at London’s Somerset House from 14-17th October.
This Thursday, as part of the fair, our Chief Curator gemmarollsbentley is taking part in a panel discussion alongside __osinachi, sumi_v and moderated by Princess Alia Al-Senussi.
In ‘The Virtual Salon’ the group will discuss the intersections of art with the digital realm, where divides exist and how creative practitioners have found tools to enable new forms of expression — with a focus on independently-driven storytelling techniques that allow queer, feminist alt-narratives to breathe in open space.

🌟 2022 IN REVIEW 🌟
Leading up to our 1-year anniversary in January, we`re taking a look back at all the incredible shows, artists, and people who made 2022 an unforgettable year.
In April 2022, we presented "Soul Culture," a solo show of work by Renee Cox (reneecoxstudio), followed by a presentation of her work at 154artfair.
As a celebrated artist for the past thirty years, Renee Cox has used her background in fashion photography, graphic design, and modeling to forge an artistic path joining photography, conceptualism, and performance.
"When you’ve been working for thirty years, it’s imperative to stay current! I want my work to rule the world and have that world created by me."—Renee Cox

This is the last week end to visit Matthew Eguavoen’s solo exhibition "Egbé Okpá" at the gallery!
On view until Tuesday 03/05.
—
Matthew Eguavoen`s portraits stage his thoughts on Nigerian society. He explores social, economic and political issues through the eyes of his models. His new series of works presented in the exhibition "Egbé Okpá" plunges visitors into the intimacy of a couple.
"Egbé Okpá", which means "one family" in Benin language - a language spoken in the artist`s native Edo region of southwestern Nigeria - reflects the autobiographical nature of the work. Matthew Eguavoen`s narrative is imbued with the birth of his first child, as he projects in it his experience as a young father. He questions parenthood and the impact of this upheaval on the couple. What was life like before? How does one go from two to three? How are our responsibilities and priorities changed permanently and irreversibly? Egbé Okpá unveils intimate portraits by plunging us into the confidence of family moments.
Matthew Eguavoen perpetuates the tradition of family portraits. Historically, family portraits used to depict historical figures, politicians, members of the aristocracy and the bourgeoisie - from Diego Velazquez`s portrait of the Infanta Margarita to Jan Van Eyck`s Arnolfini Portrait - showing the individuals in their homes and exposing the ties that bind them. These portraits inscribed the family in history and are carried its social and economic success. They saluted its importance by displaying its wealth and stability. In the same vein, the composition of Matthew Eguavoen`s portraits is evocative. By immersing his figures in the comfort of a domestic setting, he shows the central position of the child in this new trio. He illustrates with his brushes how the harmony of the couple is changed, how the offspring becomes a new pillar of the family balance.

I am happy to announce I am participating of the 1-54 Paris at the emblematic Christie’s auction house.
The 154artfair at christiesparis it’s from 20-23 January. My paintings can be see with lucegallery.
Some cool news, all my paintings were Sold Out in few hours. I got 2 paintings displayed plus 4 paintings added to the sales.
I really want to say thank you very much everyone who support my art, those past months I am getting a lot of exciting news, I am very grateful for everything.
I apologize everyone that I still didn’t reply back on Emails or Message. As I work alone it’s difficult to give properly attention to everyone. But thank you for being part of this amazing support to my art and walk with me on this journey.
