sphere has finished up by incorporating this traceability or referencing and since then, artisticexpression is not specifically determined by movements, but by geographical regions.
Contemporary art has embraced British art, Russian art, Latin-American art, German neo-expressionism, Indian art, Chinese art, Brazilian art and amongst others…African art. These African artists, recognised for their creativity and originality are now projected onto the international art scene, which has now become the “womb” of recognition of the history of contemporary art in motion.
Africa is a huge continent, a cradle of creation, where an intense need to express oneself has always been claimed despite wars and political conflicts. The history of African artistic expression is the source of inspiration for modern art and contemporary art, it is therefore evident, that this creative effervescence should give birth to the most successful and recognised artistic achievements on the international scene. Because history repeats itself, this recognition is just beginning and it is quite likely that certain African artists will influence the future of contemporary art.
Being attentive to the most important artistic events and emerging art scenes in current affairs, we have selected for this edition a relevant content allowing the comprehension of the status and evolution of contemporary African art and principally, Sub-Saharan art in Africa and in the world. This selection shows the different artistic practices housed by galleries, institutions, museums and personal institutional initiatives, that dawn on the continent, and find resonance and recognition in all countries where the art scene is an incentive for current affairs that matter.
