Dorothy Payne

United States  • 1952

Presentation

One day in December 2022, a young man came to the gallery to show us 3 paintings he wanted to sell. The canvases were imposing by their format and also by the beauty of the designs. Without hesitation, we made the purchase. The history of these 3 paintings which were stored in a garage and neglected in the abundant total is remarkable: The artist is an American who resided in Conakry for 3 years for professional reasons, struggling in total discretion. After her return to the USA, she left her 3 canvases with her former driver, who did not know what to do with them. At that time, the gallery did not yet exist and as soon as this woman saw on social networks the opening of an art gallery in Conakry (the only art gallery in the country), she asked her former driver to bring us back the canvases. We do not know the artist directly and we could not refuse to restore and represent this mystery artist. The name of the artist put on the description is fictitious.
