Tiffanie Delune - There’s Gold on The Palms of My Hands: Gallery II, Accra

29 Mar - 3 May 2023

Overview

Gallery 1957 is pleased to present There’s Gold On The Palm Of My Hands, a solo exhibition by Tiffanie Delune. Please join us Wednesday, 29th March, as we delve into the artist’s expressiveness through use of bright colours, secure lines, subtle threading, and big scale gestures.

The Paris-born visual artist of French, Belgo-Congolese heritage, has lived in many places and resides now in Lisbon, Portugal. During one of our conversations, Tiffanie Delune generously shares with me that Lisbon is the place where she feels ‘most at home’. There is a lot of resilience in how she has created living situations all over the world. After having lived in many cities around the world, somehow Lisbon now, feels like home. She feels ‘cared for there’. A feeling she describes as incontestably evident during her time in Accra as well.

The work flows and things seem to fall into place. A place, a space, sometimes physical but often beyond ‘the physical’, can provide this. A place to go beyond and to ‘let be’. Her ongoing exploration of the Self in different times and places through different lenses guided by these places, evokes freedom, imagination, the otherworldly and her own spirituality. Ghana’s bright days and dark nights have welcomed Delune to express herself in all her abundance and multiplicity. The works express a daringness and fearlessness that stems from a rooted core and cared for inner world.
