Alexandre Diop features in The New African Portraiture
Kunsthalle Krems, Krems an der Donau, Austria
Curator Ekow Eshun picks from the Shariat Collections to bring together leading figures from a generation of thrilling figurative artists of African origin.
The more than 20 exhibiting artists are based on the African continent and across the diaspora. They explore complex questions of identity, aesthetics and art history. Through compelling portraiture their work invites interrogation of how the Black figure has often been misrepresented or overlooked in the Western painting tradition.
Featuring artists include Alexandre Diop, Millicent Akweley, Amoako Boafo, Aplerh-Doku Borlabi, Kimathi Donkor, Matthew Eguavoen, Bouvy Enkobo, Basil Kincaid, Turiya Magadlela and more.
