ABOUT ARTIST
Patrick Quarm grew up in postcolonial Ghana which was marked with historical sites tracing the memory of imperialism. His paintings function as a form of cultural archeology, wherein he seeks to excavate the layers of history that have been deposited over time. This is evident in the processes of layering, cutting and erasure.

ABOUT ARTIST
Saïdou is a self-taught visual artist (photographer, videographer, installer and painter). Through painting, photography, video or installations, Dicko transforms the representation of forms giving life to visual phenomena, to physical and psychological events of light, uniting the two extreme values that are at the heart of black and white contrast. He finds pleasure in bringing together the opposites to talk to us about equality, union, maternal love, freedom, humanity, and much more.

October Gallery
ABOUT ARTIST
A critically acclaimed mixed-media artist, El Anatsui gained worldwide recognition in the early 2000s for his shimmering, monumental wall hangings, visual feasts rich with associations to Africa, Europe, and America. These expansive sheets, hung in undulating swags and blocky folds, are composed of countless bits of brightly colored metal, the salvaged caps of liquor bottles, which Anatsui and his team form into shapes, then link together with copper wire. A cross between painting, tapestry, and sculpture, the hangings grew out of his earlier investigations into re-purposing scrap materials, with their attendant cultural associations.
ABOUT GALLERY
The October Gallery presents a rich diversity of art from both local London artists, poets, and writers as well as artists from around the world. Over the last forty years, they have presented cutting-edge contemporary artwork since its founding and collaborate with their partners to create unique programs.
