Gallery Baronian is pleased to announce an exceptional exhibition featuring around forty sculptures by Senegalese artist Seyni Awa Camara. This will be the largest and most complete exhibition ever made of her work. Seyni Awa Camara is renowned for her exceptional talent in the field of sculpture, exploring a variety of themes through her art with profound sensitivity and remarkable technical mastery. Her work has long remained in the shadows, and we are delighted to bring it to the fore with this remarkable exhibition. Albert Baronian became acquainted with Camara’s work through a friend of his living in Cap Skiring. Following this exchange, we now work closely with her, commissioning pieces from her every year, in order to build up a substantial body of sculpture for this major exhibition. The sculptures on display were created between 1991 and 2024, and represent a diverse selection of her work, offering visitors a glimpse of the richness and depth of her artistic expression. It is organized around the various themes that characterize her work and her world: maternity, animal bestiary, family and spirits. It promises total immersion in Camara’s distinctive artistic universe.
