Méditations solitaires, Sadikou Oukpedjo

Galerie Cécile Fakhoury is pleased to present Méditations solitaires, a solo exhibition by artist Sadikou Oukpedjo at 104 rue du Faubourg Saint Honoré (by appointment).

 

Born in 1970 in Kétao, Togo, Sadikou Oukpedjo lives and works in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. 

 

His work features half-human, half-animal characters that question the notions of origin and heritage for African peoples. For Sadikou Oukpedjo, tales, cosmogony, rites and witchcraft are all attempts and tools created by man to find his place in the world and learn to know himself. By exploring the ambiguous relationship between man and his animality, he questions our awareness of the cruelty of human relationships, in Africa and in the world.

 

His work is driven by a constant and profound questioning of our humanity, with regard to our animality. Sadikou Oukpedjo seeks to understand the violence of history in West Africa’s past. The invisible and its power, the unknown and the hidden appear as a red thread, inscribing themselves in the exploration of human consciousness as a single quest that runs through the evolution of his plastic research.
