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.

ABOUT GALLERY

Afikaris was recently opened in 2018 which focuses on contemporary art from African artists. Their mission is to become a reference gallery for artists in the community to learn what Contemporary African art and African diaspora looks like.
