Exhibition on the theme of coexistence
Through the series "Coexistence," Cherif Mama explores the invisible layers that unite and oppose identities.
His works, at the crossroads of Cubism and contemporary abstraction, highlight the tensions, dialogues, and cultural overlaps that shape our collective being. Each painting is an encounter: between colors, shapes, cultures, and experiences. A coexistence of experiences, sometimes dissonant, always meaningful.
"Coexistence" is an invitation to reflect on what it means to live together , beyond origins, languages or apparent differences.
It is also an exploration of self—of identity as a shifting construction, made of inherited, chosen, or imposed fragments.
A Living Gallery – Art in Motion
I refuse to impose limits on my art.
My work is not confined to a frame or a wall. It deserves to exist everywhere —in public spaces, in everyday life, in movement.
With this project, I transform my creations into artistic t-shirts , designed as wearable canvases.
The body becomes a gallery , and each person who wears these pieces becomes a living extension of my visual universe.
This is not a fashion collection.
It is a declaration of artistic freedom , a call to circulate art outside of traditional formats, to fully embody it.
By wearing these t-shirts, you become part of the work , its message, its movement.
Special project for Maison Aido
During an exceptional artistic brunch at Maison Aido , the artist Cherif Mama created a live work inspired by the history of coffee , between memory, migration and identity.
This unique pictorial performance explores the roots of coffee in the lands of Africa, its commercial trajectories across the diaspora, and its deep links with the history of Benin , notably that of the Amazons , powerful women and figures of resistance.
The painting becomes a bridge between past and present, between art and heritage
A fragmented presence
This mural project transforms an intimate, everyday space into a vibrant scene of inner reflection . This mural is part of Cherif M.'s exploration of fragmented identity and its dialogue with architecture. Here, art doesn't decorate—it inhabits .
