GALERIE CECILE DUFAY

BOOTH A4

Cécile Dufay first created, in the early 2000s, a gallery whose ambition was the discovery of new talents. 120 exhibitions later, she decided in 2009 to support women artists, who are sadly underrepresented not only in institutions, but also in galleries. Today, what fascinates her, and what she wants to share, is the mastery of artists who have reached the mature stage of their art. Whose studios are full. Whose projects are all the more fertile because they are nourished by a whole career. So what better place than the Swiss Village, a 20th century setting for beautiful objects from all eras, to present contemporary works that will also one day become classics?

Artist presented at AKAA 2022 :

Barbara Asei Dantoni +

Barbara Asei Dantoni is a French-Italian-Cameroonian artist living between France and Cameroon. Starting with academic training in drawing, painting and modelling when she was 10 years old, her career involves various awards, residencies and artistic projects. Whereas she has been questioning herself since childhood regarding her multicultural origins, she nourishes herself with the African handcrafts that populate her home and the loincloths of her seamstress mother to build a colourful imagination that serves as a refuge. Through painting on canvas, mixed media sculptural works and poems, Barbara questions her inner landscapes made up of symbols linked to her ancestors and her femininity. Her artistic project "Identités Imaginaires", was born progressively in this intimate space, this in-between world between France and Cameroon. It materializes in 2020 to speak about the stories of exile, migration and the fragmented identities that constitute it, through the visual arts.
