We are thrilled to announce that Gideon Appah’s remarkable work is currently featured in the Corps et âmes exhibition at the Bourse de Commerce – Pinault Collection in Paris. This powerful exhibition, which runs until August 25, 2025, explores the universal theme of the human body through the eyes of forty contemporary artists from around the world.
As highlighted in the article by Antoine Vitek for Culturezvous:
"As soon as we enter, the diptych by Ghanaian painter Gideon Appah greets us, blending European influences and memories of post-independence Ghana with dreamlike, almost fantastical images where the colors of Matisse resurface in a contemporary work."
This recognition is a significant moment in Appah’s career, as his work continues to bridge cultural boundaries and provoke thought on the intersection of history, identity, and memory. His unique approach, combining European influences with a rich exploration of post-independence Ghanaian themes, invites viewers into a world that blends the surreal with the real.
We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Antoine Vitek and the Bourse de Commerce – Pinault Collection for recognizing Gideon’s work and including him in this groundbreaking exhibition.
