Soly Cissé +

Active between France and Senegal, Soly Cissé (1969 Dakar) is one of the most influential artists of his generation. Soly Cissé constructs his compositions as allegories linked to his associations on history and society. The artist invites the viewer to enter his large formats, rich in narration and colors, with backgrounds loaded with signs and symbols that reveal animals with allegorical roles and powerful figures. They embody a humanity that is unraveling under the pressure of environmental disasters, migratory flows and identity confrontations. A graduate from the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Dakar in 1996 and of the ERG, Brussels in 1997, the artist has been exhibiting internationally for two decades. Following his particular exhibition, Soly Cissé, a legend on a quest - official selection of Dak'Art 2022, ae soloxhibition in Evreux and the event, The Pigozzi collection in Cannes are on view until August27 and 14, 2022, respectively.

Wole Lagunju +

Nigerian from the diaspora living in North Carolina USA, Wole Lagunju (1966 Osoghbo) is associated with the contemporary movement of the Ifé school of art, Onaïsm, dedicated to the reinvention of the forms and philosophy of traditional Yoruba art and design - a culture that stretches from the southern region of Togo to southwest of Nigeria. Trained in design and fashion that he raises to an art form, his subjects with extraordinary physical magnetism pose in flowery blazers and psychedelic dresses totally seventies pose with Yoruba masks. A combination of textile installation, graphic design and painting to his decorative traditions and Gelede masks, the artist explores post-colonial hierarchies and the hybridization of cultures. Wole Lagunju has a degree in Graphic Design from the University of Ifé, now Obafemi Awolowo University, Nigeria. His work is part of many private and public institutions.

Samuel Nnorom +

A graduated in sculpture (MFA) from the prestigious Nsukka school in Nigeria where El Anatsui teaches, Samuel Nnorom (1990 Nos Jort Nigeria) explores the history and identity of his Igbo culture transforming fabric scraps Ankara. The artist illustrates the incessant cycle of consumer culture while engaging social interactions. Samuel Nnorom's bubbles question the history of textiles, its origins, its use, the materiality of the work and its content. The artist sculpts forms related to the organic, the animal, kind of arachnian chrysalis, like sometimes breaking, sometimes confronted with space, sometimes with the wall. An artistic practice as one more example of the multiple meanings that fabrics can take on in their relationship to our lives and that the art of textiles celebrates. Samuel Nnorom has just won the Cassirer Welz Prize. He also holds a BAed (sculpture major) from the University of Jos.
