Frieze London kicked off last night with a private view of the exciting collaboration between Ozwald Boateng and Dubai-based Efie Gallery, marking a vibrant injection of African artistry in the heart of London’s West End. This partnership not only showcases exceptional talent but also fosters a rich dialogue between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary artistic expression.
The mixed-media exhibition presents three generations of modern and contemporary African art, set against the backdrop of the esteemed Savile Row tailoring by British-Ghanaian Ozwald Boateng, renowned for his innovative fusion of visual art and fashion. This exhibit features prominent artists, including Abdoulaye Konaté, J.K., Bruce-Vanderpuije, and Maggie Otieno, each contributing their unique voices and perspectives to this significant artistic dialogue.
