<i> PERSPECTIVE </i> : Noel W. Anderson, Layo Bright, Feipel & Bechameil, Kim Dacres, Alteronce Gumby, Eddy Kamuanga, José Parlá and Olivier Souffrant

Zidoun-Bossuyt Paris is delighted to present Perspective, a collective exhibition showcasing the works of Noel W. Anderson, Layo Bright, Feipel & Bechameil, Kim Dacres, Louis Granet, Alteronce Gumby, Eddy Kamuanga, José Parlá, and Olivier Souffrant, from February 8 to April 5, 2025.
These artists, united by their ability to reveal often marginalized viewpoints, engage in a dialogue that is both profoundly intimate and expansive. The exhibition’s wide-ranging themes delve into important conversations about selfhood, culture, historical narratives, and environmental issues. The artists underscore that while art may appear as a collective endeavor, it is also a deeply personal experience—a form of therapy born from the confrontation with society and others. This perspective invites visitors to reflect on the nature of society itself, prompting a profound contemplation.
Perspective offers a unique voice and vision, contributing to a rich tapestry of narratives that challenge and expand our understanding of contemporary issues. For instance, Noel W. Anderson’s work explores the complexities of African American identity through a blend of traditional and innovative techniques. Layo Bright’s pieces delve into the intersections of culture and memory, offering poignant commentary on the diasporic experience.
Feipel & Bechameil’s collaborative installations transform everyday objects into thought-provoking sculptures that question our relationship with the built environment. Kim Dacres’ sculptures, crafted from repurposed materials, evoke themes of resilience and transformation, reflecting the strength found in marginalized communities.
Louis Granet’s vibrant paintings draw from pop culture and art history, creating a dialogue between past and present. Alteronce Gumby’s abstract works use color and texture to explore themes of identity and perception, inviting viewers to engage with the materiality of the artwork.
Eddy Kamuanga’s detailed paintings highlight the impact of globalization on African societies, blending traditional motifs with contemporary elements. José Parlá’s expressive works capture the energy of urban environments, layering text and imagery to create a sense of place and memory. Olivier Souffrant’s multimedia pieces explore the fluidity of identity and the intersections of personal and collective histories.
The exhibition, on view until April 5, 2025, beckons the audience to move beyond passive observation, urging them to engage with the artworks and uncover hidden layers of meaning.
