Vive l’Afrique!! is an opportunity for agn\u00e8s b. to introduce the public to some to the artists discovered by Andr\u00e9 Magnin and represented by the gallery MAGNIN-A<\/strong><\/a>. Testifying to her active support of African art over twenty-five years, agn\u00e8s b. exhibits an eclectic panorama of contemporary creation on the African continent.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Bruly Bouabr\u00e9<\/strong>, observes the world and produces drawings redolent of daily life, which enabled him to fulfill his dream of entering the “Pantheon of Picasso”. Seyni Awa Camara<\/strong>, raises from the earth maternal, feminine sculptures, creations inspired by her dreams and the spirits that inhabit her. Seydou Ke\u00efta<\/strong>, a master of studio photography, gives us portraits of immense beauty, a sober look at Malian society in the mid-twentieth century. A few years later, the off-the-cuff photography of Malick Sidib\u00e9<\/strong> speaks to the freedom and modernity driving the younger generation in Bamako at the dawn of independence. In his Hairstyles<\/strong><\/em> series, J.D. ‘Okhai Ojeikere<\/strong> records the styles of Nigeria, from simplest to most sophisticated. This absolutely unique body of work has its place in photography, fashion and ethnography and, quite simply, in art. The symbolic and figurative paintings of Amadou Sanogo<\/strong>, suffused with light and with the oral, popular tradition, denounce the political practices of the governing elite. Ana Silva<\/strong>‘s aesthetic is a story delicately hinted at behind lace and embroideries where feminine figures\u2014the memories of intimate stories and familiar faces\u2014are revealed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This exhibition is the fruit of the long-standing friendship between agn\u00e8s b. and Andr\u00e9 Magnin, the co-curator in 1989 of the exhibition Magiciens de la Terre (Magicians of the Earth)<\/em>, who continued to initiate agn\u00e8s b. into the contemporary art of the African continent.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In 2005, at Galerie du jour, the first iteration of Vive l’Afrique!!<\/strong> was held, already featuring the work of Malick Sidib\u00e9, Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Bruly Bouabr\u00e9, J.D. ‘Okhai Okeijere and Seydou Keita. It was in 1999 that agn\u00e8s b. had first shown signed and dated contemporary prints by Malick Sidib\u00e9 and Seydou Keita.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Andr\u00e9 Magnin worked on multiple exhibitions at La Galerie du Jour agn\u00e8s b.: in 2010, he curated the Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Bruly Bouabr\u00e9 retrospective; in 2011, in collaboration with Frank Andr\u00e9 Jamme, Abhay Maskara and Herv\u00e9 Perdriolle, Andr\u00e9 Magnin curated the (M)other India<\/em> exhibition; in 2016, agn\u00e8s b. invited Andr\u00e9 Magnin to create a dialogue between the work of photographer Omar Victor Diop and the photography of Malick Sidib\u00e9.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Alongside Vive l’Afrique!!<\/em>, Andr\u00e9 Magnin has invited agn\u00e8s b. to exhibit on his walls. While Fabrice Monteiro will show his complete series Signares<\/em> for the first time, agn\u00e8s b. will put on view eighty images from the Dr\u00f4lesses<\/em> series, from May 28, 2021, at the gallery Magnin-A.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n
