 JORDAN 𝘡𝘈𝘠𝘈𝘚 𝘒𝘌𝘓𝘓𝘠 𝘗𝘭𝘶𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵 Thursday 21 May – 27 June 2026 PV: Thursday, 21 May, 6–8pm JORDAN 𝘡𝘈𝘠𝘈𝘚 𝘒𝘌𝘓𝘓𝘠 is an interdisciplinary artist working between New York and London.  Her practice spans experimental video, sculpture, sound installation, and prose, exploring the intersections of identity, material history, and archival memory. Through tactile engagements with archive and embodied experience, she transforms materials into a method of reclaiming histories that resist traditional documentation. Her current work employs historically exploited materials such as sugar, denim, raw cotton, and steel, reimagining these elements as aesthetic interventions that interrogate their extractive origins. Grounded in Visual Art and African American and African Diaspora Studies, Kelly’s practice reframes traditions often rendered invisible by institutional narratives, drawing attention to the quotidian gestures that refuse conventional modes of representation. Her work recalls the personal with the understanding that what is personal is inherently political. Jordan Zayas Kelly lives and works in London, UK. She earned a BA in African American and African Diaspora Studies and Visual Art from Columbia University in 2022, and an MA in Sculpture from the Royal College of Art, London, UK in 2025. She is a recipient of the Gilbert Bayes Trust Award (Royal College of Art, 2025) and the Barbara and Carl Zydney Grant for Artists with Disabilities (NYFA, 2021). Her work has been featured in group exhibitions internationally, including in Los Angeles, London, and New York, with presentations at London Fashion Week. Her work has also appeared in publications such as 𝘝𝘰𝘨𝘶𝘦, 𝘖𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘻𝘪𝘯𝘦, and 𝘍𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘩 𝘈𝘳𝘵.

[LAST DAY TO CATCH] ALIOU 𝘋𝘐𝘈𝘊𝘒 𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘰𝘦𝘵𝘶𝘴 Until Saturday 9 May 2026 Into the Foetus is a meditation on creation and spirituality as inseparable. To create is to touch the source of life itself; to explore the origins of being is to move toward the divine. In these works, Diack traces a space where body, spirit, and world converge, where creation is at once intimate, ancestral, and universal. In this light, the figure of the woman, the act of creation, and the gesture of painting align within a shared cosmology. One that honours origin, transmission, and the continuous unfolding of life. ———————————————————— Wednesday to Saturday 12 – 6 PM Or by appointment 16 Orsman Road London N1 5QJ

 ALIOU 𝘋𝘐𝘈𝘊𝘒 𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘰𝘦𝘵𝘶𝘴 21 March – 9 May 2026 ‘Woman is the most extraordinary thing that God has created. First, she is His own laboratory, His own workshop in which He Himself works. He sends neither angel nor spirit there. It is in the woman’s womb that a drop of water is transformed into a human being.’— Amadou Hampâté Bâ

Echoing the thoughts of Amadou Hampâté Bâ, Malian writer, historian and ethnologist, Aliou Diack explores  the figure of the woman emerging as a site of sacred creation. Described as God’s own “laboratory,” she embodies a space where life takes form through a direct and unmediated divine act.  In this vision, the womb becomes more than a biological locus but it is a spiritual terrain, a generative matrix where matter transforms into being. Woman is thus not only a creation, but a vessel of creation itself, carrying within her the mystery and continuity of life. Diack’s canvases are haunted by animal presences that emerge and dissolve, half-formed, as if appearing from memory or dream. These figures float within layers of natural pigments drawn from plants and trees in his native Senegal, materials imbued with ancestral knowledge and ritual significance. His process; ritualistic, repetitive and meditative echoes the act of cultivation: sowing, tending, and allowing forms to emerge organically. Into the Foetus is a meditation on creation and spirituality as inseparable. To create is to touch the source of life itself; to explore the origins of being is to move toward the divine. In these works, Diack traces a space where body, spirit, and world converge, where creation is at once intimate, ancestral, and universal. In this light, the figure of the woman, the act of creation, and the gesture of painting align within a shared cosmology. One that honours origin, transmission, and the continuous unfolding of life.

PRIVATE VIEW ANNOUCEMENT 
 ALIOU 𝘋𝘐𝘈𝘊𝘒 𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘰𝘦𝘵𝘶𝘴 21 March – 9 May 2026 PV: Saturday, 21 March, 6–8pm Aliou Diack (b. 1987, Mbour, Senegal) develops a practice rooted in an intimate dialogue between nature, spirituality, and collective memory. Trained at the National School of Arts in Dakar, Diack’s compositions charged with visual intensity, inhabited by animal presences, mineral tones, and textured surfaces, evoke a primordial and instinctive universe. Central to Diack’s practice is the use of natural pigments derived from plants and trees, many traditionally employed for medicinal or ritual purposes. Sourced from his native region in Senegal, these materials carry with them ancestral knowledge transmitted across generations. Prepared within his family, they embody a living heritage that the artist reactivates on canvas.  His paintings trace a spiritual journey informed by Sufi traditions. The act of painting becomes ritualistic, repetitive, meditative, cyclical. He approaches the canvas as a field to be sown, layering pigments as a farmer would cultivate land, allowing texture to prevail over figuration and rooting each work in a tactile, almost earthly presence. At the intersection of personal history and broader geopolitical realities, Diack’s practice engages questions of contemporary becoming of Senegal, of Africa, and of a globalised world.  Positioning himself as an intermediary between humanity and the spirit of nature, Aliou Diack’s practice unfolds rhizomatically, deeply rooted yet expansively connected. His return to origins generates narratives that are intimate and universal, affirming art as a site where ancestral knowledge, spiritual consciousness, and contemporary urgency converge.
