This exhibition brings together Carol Muthiga-Oyekunle, Yoann Bonneville, Kip Omolade, and Gil Bruvel around the question of identity as a construct shaped by memory, heritage, and experience. Through original, small-format works, this selection explores the links between personal and collective memory, between traces of the past and contemporary narratives, in an approach accessible both in terms of scale and price.
The works presented are all original, small-format pieces (maximum 100 x 100 cm), mostly offered at prices below €10,000, fostering an intimate and accessible approach to contemporary art.
Carol Muthiga-Oyekunle explores identity as a space of tension between cultural heritage, personal memory, and inner narration. Her figures, often fragmented or introspective, evoke silent narratives where the body becomes an archive.
Yoann Bonneville explores collective memory and the traces left by history, working with refined forms and compositions that oscillate between abstraction and reminiscence. His works suggest a suspended temporality, where the image acts as a vestige.
For Kip Omolade, identity is constructed through contemporary and traditional cultural references. His works address memory as a living process, constantly rewritten, nourished by diaspora, transmission, and social experience.
Gil Bruvel offers a sculptural and symbolic approach to human memory. His works question the place of the individual in a technological and globalized world, where identity is shaped as much by the past as by projections into the future. Together, these practices create a dialogue between personal and collective memory, between heritage and transformation, offering a multifaceted interpretation of contemporary identity through deliberately compact works, conducive to a direct and focused relationship with the viewer.
