La Magicienne au Body Bleu
(Tata de Sikasso)
2026
Acrylic painting, weaving and cotton thread embroidery on canvas
130 x 110 cm
In Malian culture, “Tata” is a name associated with bravery, wisdom, and spiritual strength - a title given to figures who embody courage and become symbols within their community. In Sikasso, as in Ségou with the “Gneleni,” these figures preserve and transmit ancestral knowledge, rituals, and collective memory.
Through weaving and embroidery, Ibrahim Ballo transforms the canvas into a living surface of transmission, where thread becomes language and memory becomes form. Inspired by Dogon cosmogony and oral traditions, the work pays tribute to the guardians of cultural heritage - those who protect stories, rites, and identities from disappearance.
La Magicienne au Body Bleu evokes both the mystical presence and the resilience of African femininity: a sacred figure suspended between ritual, history, and contemporary expression.

Viewed together, these works almost unfold like a cycle of seasons: the red carrying the intensity and expansion of summer, the yellow holding the suspended light of autumn, the blue immersed in the silence of winter.
Starting from fragments of nature, Federico Borroni (b. 1991) constructs dense and immersive pictorial worlds - suspended dimensions where branches, leaves and organic forms dissolve into something almost cosmic, psychological, otherworldly.
What lies beyond these layered surfaces?
Borroni’s painting never offers a definitive answer.
It invites the viewer to cross the threshold and remain inside the mystery

Donald Baechler (1956-2022) developed one of the most recognizable visual languages in postwar American art.
Blending childhood imagery, symbolic forms and painterly immediacy, his works transform familiar motifs into enduring visual icons.
In Globe #2 (2001), the world itself becomes a fragmented, playful and poetic image - suspended between memory, abstraction and collective imagination.

Expanding his visual language onto a museum-scale format, Adam Handler (b. 1986) pushes gesture, colour and emotional intensity into an entirely new dimension, while maintaining the immediacy and instinctive freedom that define his practice.
This monumental canvas, measuring 3 × 5 meters, will enter an important private collection in the United Arab Emirates.

Mimmo Rotella is once again at the center of institutional attention.
With the opening of the major retrospective at Palazzo Ducale in Genoa, his work continues to be reassessed within the broader history of post-war European art.
A key figure in redefining the relationship between image, media and painting, Rotella remains one of the most relevant Italian artists of the 20th century.
Swipe to explore why collectors are focusing on his work today.

A historic work by Shozo Shimamoto, founding member of the avant-garde Gutai movement, has recently joined the gallery’s collection.
Created in 1962, this intimate composition reflects the radical freedom that defined Shimamoto’s practice during the early postwar years: gesture, matter and spontaneity become the work itself.
Long before performative painting became central to contemporary art discourse, Gutai artists were already redefining the relationship between body, material and surface.

A new generation of artists is gaining increasing international attention - and Odinakachi Okoroafor is one of the names worth watching closely.
There’s something immediately familiar in this scene - and at the same time, something that doesn’t fully resolve.
In A glass of water, the figure takes shape through layered systems of patterns, codes and textures that seem almost embedded in the body itself. What appears quiet holds a deeper tension: between memory and identity, between what is inherited and what is constructed.
His lines recall both something deeply human - like the uniqueness of a hand - and something more distant, closer to a system, a code.
The longer you look, the more the image shifts.

An explosion of colour.
Executed in 1987, this work reflects one of the most instinctive and liberated phases of Schifano’s practice, where painting becomes immediate, physical, and unconstrained.
Here, the pictorial gesture extends beyond the canvas, invading the frame itself - dissolving the boundary between image and space.

The art market became more selective in 2025.
After a volatile phase, we’re now seeing a clearer structure: fewer impulsive acquisitions, more informed decisions.
A few signals we’re watching closely:
– The mid-market ($50k–$1M) proved the most resilient;
– Prints & multiples continue to expand the collector base;
– New geographies (Middle East, India, Southeast Asia) are gaining relevance.
But the most interesting dynamic is this:
Collectors are moving towards artists with strong institutional validation - even when the market hasn’t fully caught up yet.
That’s where real opportunities often emerge.
We’ve just published our Art Market Report 2026 with a deeper analysis.

This series by Ibrahim Ballo is rooted in a deep reflection on tradition, transmission, and collective memory.
Drawing from the Korèduga figures of southern Mali - custodians of rituals, knowledge, and social balance - these works carry forward an ancestral heritage that continues to shape the present.
Through painting and embroidery, Ballo reinterprets these presences within a contemporary language, where the human figure shifts, transforms, and holds together past and present.
