🔛Venice │ Sesse Elangwe: “The Road” │ Through September 6, 2026.

Drawing equally from political thought and African literary traditions, Elangwe approaches painting as a space of witnessing. His figures embody a way of inhabiting the world with lucidity, maintaining an acute capacity for perception in the face of social structures, global hierarchies, and experiences of migration and displacement. Through a practice in which portraiture becomes a site of negotiation between individual experience and collective realities, Sesse Elangwe reflects on what it means to see—and to continue seeing—in a world shaped by constant transformation.

Last days to discover Sesse Elange’s solo exhibition “The Road” in our Venice gallery.

🗓 “The Road”, on view through September 6, 2026.

✨We’re thrilled to share that works by artist Carla Gueye () will be featured in our upcoming exhibition Mémoire Matérielle, curated by Azu Nwagbogu, opening at our Paris gallery on September 5th.

Carla Gueye (b. 1997, Angoulême) is a multidisciplinary artist based in Paris. She holds a Master’s degree (DNSEP) from the École nationale supérieure d’art de Cergy, France (2022).

Her artistic practice explores notions of intimacy and transculturality, investigating how they emerge and resonate within familial and collective contexts. Through her work, she reflects on the complexity of identities, emotional relationships, and the experiences shaped by encounters and frictions between cultures. By opening herself to otherness, her work reveals emotional, artistic, and socio-ecological dimensions. Working with materials such as lime and clay, Gueye goes beyond their physical properties to construct narratives that reconfigure cultural knowledge and imagination.

In 2023, Gueye worked in Dakar with designer Bibi Seck, founder of the Dakar Next Design Lab, and later studied traditional pottery with the renowned artist Seyni Awa Camara during a residency in Casamance. In 2025, she will collaborate with Camara on a new series of sculptures for her project “Corps Immergés” winner of the COAL Art and Ecology Prize (Ateliers Médicis Mention, 2024)—in partnership with oyster-farming women in Senegal.

Gueye’s work has been exhibited in France and internationally, including at the BISO Biennale (Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, 2025), Maif Social Club (Paris, France, 2025-2026), the 36th São Paulo Biennial (São Paulo, Brazil), the 68th Salon de Montrouge (Montrouge, France, 2024), and the Musée Dauphinois (Grenoble, France, 2024). Her work is held in the collections of the Fondation Blachère (France) and the IFAN Museum (Sénégal).

Carla Gueye was honoured as a medalist of the Art Basel Awards 2026.

🔛 Currently on view in our Saint-Tropez gallery, "Columna Oceánica" by Aldo Chaparro explore the relationship between material, space and absence.

In Chaparro's totem sculptures, the stability of the wood joist is disguised as fragility, maintaining the eternal qualities of the materials, which for the artist are themselves a work of art. By using the simplest possible means, the inherent nature of the aesthetic object shifts. The subtraction of mater on his chainsawed wood joists, and also on his computer models, points towards the Zen ideas of negative space, and on how it defines objects in which its essence depends on their ability to hold or be completed.

Presented as part of the group show "Méditerranée", the work resonates with the exhibition’s evocation of the Mediterranean as a space of contemplation, reverie and endless horizons.

"Méditerranée" is on view through August 31 at our Saint-Tropez gallery, open daily throughout the summer ☀️

A little look back at the first half of the year. ✨

The past few months have brought so many exhibitions, fairs, travels, encounters and, most importantly, moments we’ve had the chance to share with our artists, collectors, friends and our wonderful team.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us, visited our galleries, followed along, shared our posts, and simply been there with us. And a very special thank you to our artists and team, who make all this possible. 🤍

And now, we’re getting ready for a new and very exciting chapter in the gallery’s history. There’s a lot happening behind the scenes, and we can’t wait to bring you along. ✨

✨We’re delighted to announce that Joana Choumali’s work will be featured in our upcoming exhibition "Mémoire Matérielle", curated by Azu Nwagbogu, opening at our Paris gallery on September 5th.

Alba’hian, meaning the first light of the day, the dawn in Agni, is a series born from Joana’s daily walks at first light, a poetic meditation on the quiet moments between night and day.

Every morning, Joana walks at dawn, collecting fleeting landscapes, silhouettes and fragments of the world as it slowly awakens. Through photography, collage, embroidery and quilting, these fragments are layered into delicate compositions where landscape, memory and imagination converge. The works explore the shifting relationship between the visible world and the inner landscape, and the act of looking as a form of discovery and introspection.

Her work is held in major public and private collections internationally, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the High Museum of Art, the Victoria and Albert Museum, and the Musée de la Photographie de Saint-Louis.

In 2017, Choumali presented her series Translation and Adorn at the Pavilion of Côte d’Ivoire at the 57th Venice Biennale. In 2019, she was awarded the Prix Pictet for her series Ça va aller (It Will Be OK), becoming the first African artist to receive the prize. In 2020, she was named Robert Gardner Fellow in Photography at Harvard University’s Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology, where she developed Yougou-Yougou (Secondhand Clothing), later presented at the Harvard Art Museums in 2025.

📢We’re beyond thrilled to announce the opening of Hassan Hajjaj’s solo exhibition, "My Rock Stars", at the Musée de la Musique – Philharmonie de Paris, in collaboration with 193 Gallery.

Opening on September 22, this exhibition marks Hassan Hajjaj’s second major museum presentation in Paris, following his celebrated retrospective at the Maison Européenne de la Photographie in 2019.

From Larache to London, Hassan Hajjaj brings together music, photography, fashion and pop culture in a vibrant celebration of identity, diversity and creative freedom. From Gnawa masters to global icons, his colourful portraits blur the lines between tradition and contemporary culture.

"My Rock Stars" will present the musical pantheon of the artist in an installation that celebrates the diversity of the artist’s cultural influences and his creative freedom. In response, the group Acid Arab immerses visitors in a musical alchemy through an electronic composition that blends traditional sounds from the Arab world, electronic basslines, and global rhythms.

✨Congratulations to the artist, and a heartfelt thank you to all our collectors who generously loaned works from their collections for this exhibition, as well as to the Musée de la Musique team for their incredible work and dedication in bringing My Rock Stars to life.

🔚Last day tomorrow to discover the exhibition “Utopi·e” in our Paris gallery.

“In “Utopi·e”, what seemed lost, damaged, or silenced never entirely disappears. It returns in fragments, displaced objects, altered images, gestures, signals. In certain places, the works almost take the shape of rituals: not to repair what is missing, but to allow something to be reborn through loss and absence. They remind us that nothing is ever entirely inert; that bodies, memories, materials, and images remain connected, still capable of transformation.

Painting, photography, video, textile, installation, digital practices, and hybrid forms each seek their own way of appearing, resisting, and reaching others. “Utopi·e” is therefore not an exhibition about q***r narratives, but a space where they circulate without being simplified. They invent from absence. Here, utopia is what remains when we must nonetheless create a place for our disappeared, our loves, our celebrations, and our futures.”

- Myriama Idir and Agathe Pinet
Co-Founders of Utopi·e Prize

📢193 Gallery is delighted to announce the representation of artist Gaëlle Choisne (France, b. 1985).

Sensitive to contemporary issues, Gaëlle Choisne’s practice considers the complexity of the world, its political and cultural disorder, whether it be the over-exploitation of nature, its resources, or the vestiges of colonial history, where Creole esoteric traditions, myths and popular cultures mingle. Her projects are conceived as ecosystems of sharing and collaboration, pockets of « resistance » where new possibilities are created, notably with the “Temple of Love” project. Initiated from Roland Barthes’ original essay on love, “Fragments d’un discours amoureux” (1977), Gaëlle Choisne adds a political dimension to the concept of love by paying homage to invisible bodies, minority and fragile souls, and dispossessed hearts.

Gaëlle Choisne’s workss have been exhibited in many institutions: MAC VAL (Vitry-sur-Seine), Centrale Powerhouse (Montreal), CAFA Museum (Beijing), Pera Museum (Istanbul), MAM - Musée d’art moderne de Paris, Musée Fabre (Montpellier), Zachęta Gallery (Warsaw), The Mistake Room (Los Angeles), Centre d’art contemporain La Halle des bouchers (Vienne), among others.

In 2024, Gaëlle Choisne won the Marcel Duchamp Prize and, in 2021, the AWARE Prize. In 2019, she was nominated for the Ricard Foundation Prize.

✨Gaëlle Choisne’s work will be presented at 193 Gallery for the first time in the exhibition “Mémoire Matérielle” curated by Azu Nwagbogu and Nkhensani Mkhari, opening in Paris gallery on September 5, 2026. The gallery will also present her work at The Armory Show in New York, in the Platform section curated by Jovanna Venegas. Further presentations throughout the year will include Paris Photo and Mira Art Fair.
