For our second presentation at Art Basel Hong Kong, Gallery 1957 is proud to present a dynamic group exhibition featuring acclaimed West African artists. This collection highlights a range of innovative practices across various media, including works by Gideon Appah, Amoako Boafo, Rita Mawuena Benissan, Kelvin Haizel, Kaloki Nyamai, Otis Quaicoe, and Arthur Timothy.
These artists offer compelling, international perspectives that create rich and dynamic reflections on the contemporary world. Through their work, they amplify the brilliance of cultural histories while exploring themes that resonate across time and geography.
Rooted in themes of kinship, connection, and identity, the new works created specifically for this event engage in a powerful dialogue with one another. Together, they weave a visual narrative that invites the viewer to experience the innermost stories of their subjects—whether through portraiture, abstraction, or intricate symbolism. This presentation offers an exploration of shared cultural moments while celebrating the diversity and vibrancy of West African art today.
We look forward to showcasing this exceptional group of artists at Booth at Art Basel Hong Kong from March 28th to March 30th.
