Vergangenes Wochenende fand die Frieze London statt, und parallel der 1-54 Art Fair, eine Messe für zeitgenössische afrikanische Kunst und Kunst aus der afrikanischen Diaspora. Den Hof des Somerset House, wo die Messe stattfand, bespielte die Künstlerin Grada.Kilomba mit einer großen Installation und Performance. Für all jene, die es verpasst haben, persönlich im Somerset House vorbei zu schauen oder schlicht weiter durch die Werke stöbern möchten, läuft die Messe noch bis zum 31. Oktober online weiter.⁠

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.

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.
