The notion of passage has been common to all societies for millennia. Passage on earth or in the beyond, but also displacement, exchange, transmission, the term evokes today, more than ever, hopes and tensions; it is the starting point of the new exhibition of the Beninese artist Rafiy. Powerful and aesthetic, his painting is nonetheless loaded with social content. Rafiy says he works in “the noise of the world”. Very influenced by current events, he sees his production as a way to bring order to the chaos of reality, to fight against oblivion, to keep in memory.
