Description
KYNOME GALLERY IS A CONTEMPORARY AFRICAN ART EXHIBITION SPACE, LOCATED IN CÔTE D'IVOIRE, PRECISELY IN Abidjan, DEUX PLATEAUX. FOUNDED BY RAYMOND ACHI, A PASSIONATE LOVER OF AFRICAN ART AND CULTURE, AND HIS WIFE, THE SHOWROOM AIMS TO GIVE VISIBILITY TO YOUNG IVORIAN ARTISTS AND TO AFRICAN ART IN GENERAL. THE GOAL IS TO SHOWCASE THE CULTURAL RICHNESS OF CÔTE D'IVOIRE THROUGH ART AND TO ENABLE LOCAL ARTISTS TO MAKE A LIVING FROM THEIR TALENT.
THE SELECTION OF DISPLAYED WORKS IS GUIDED BY THE EMOTIONS THAT THE GALLERY OWNERS FEEL IN FRONT OF EACH PIECE. THEY FAVOR PAINTINGS AND WORKS THAT CONVEY MESSAGES OF LIFE AND JOY, AS WELL AS THOUGHT-PROVOKING, COMMITTED WORKS. THEY ARE PARTICULARLY CAPTIVATED BY THE PIECES OF THE PROMISING YOUNG PAINTER DONGOA, WHICH THEY CONSIDER TO BE TRUE MESSAGES OF LIFE AND HOPE.
THE GALLERY'S AMBITION IS TO PROMOTE YOUNG ARTISTS, BUT ALSO TO EXHIBIT RENOWNED ARTISTS WHO ARE A SOURCE OF PRIDE FOR AFRICA AND ITS DIASPORA. IT IS A PLACE WHERE AFRICAN ART IS CELEBRATED, TO THE DELIGHT OF ART LOVERS AND COLLECTORS ALIKE. IT GIVES IVORIAN ARTISTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO GAIN RECOGNITION AND LIVE FROM THEIR ART, WHILE ALLOWING THE PUBLIC TO DISCOVER THE CULTURAL RICHNESS OF CÔTE D'IVOIRE THROUGH ART.
