Galerie Atiss Dakar Gallery in Dakar

A Senegalese painter based in Dakar's Pikine neighbourhood, whose large-format canvases and woodblock prints chronicle popular urban life — its bars, streets, youth, and contradictions — with a self-described role as a street poet and storyteller.

A Togolese painter whose work approaches creation as a meditative practice, treating each composition as a philosophical inquiry into the nature of Being, presence, and the relationship between gesture, intention, and the surrounding world.

A Senegalese photographer staging carefully composed portraits in which masking, doubling, and theatrical costuming explore spirituality, dual identity, and the porous boundary between cultural ritual and individual inner life.

Based in Dakar, this Senegalese artist and longtime teacher at the École Nationale des Arts works across painting, drawing, and wood-and-textile assemblage, with recurrent attention to social commentary and material experimentation.

Born and raised in Strasbourg and based in Japan since 2017, he works with sumi ink and Japanese pigment on washi paper mounted on wood, combining collage and painting in figures suspended between East African references and Japanese craft traditions.

A self-taught Lagos-based artist working across drawing, linocut, oil pastel, embroidery and film, exploring line, form, and the perceptual boundaries between materials, with a sustained interest in process and the inner systems of objects.

A Johannesburg-based South African artist trained in printmaking, working primarily with charcoal, coffee stain, pastel and etching to depict land as both a site of dispossession and a refuge, drawing on lived experience in Orange Farm and beyond.

Born in Kinshasa and trained at its Académie des beaux-arts, this Congolese painter develops an expressionist visual sociology of SAPE culture across the two Congos, channeling colour, line, and anamorphic form into reflections on Kongo aesthetics.
