Growing up in Comoros until 10 years old influenced his perspective on socio-economics, the strength of community and the complexities of race. Throughout his adolescent life Ibrahim lived in a small town in Brittany so it is not only his personal experiences but also those of the African diaspora that provide him with a narrative to share and explore how to navigate the surrounding environment.

Ateliers, Accra, GhanaNovember 3 - December 1, 2024The opportunity to create outside of a western context and specifically on the African continent, is a stimulus for new ideas and exploration. I wanted to explore this personal dichotomy further in Accra, a city that is flourishing with creativity and energy.I recently started introducing a novel element to my paintings in which the whole surface of the canvas is seized by white lines, inspired not only by the various shapes that form a football net but also by the varying nature of life’s chapters. I am attracted to the repetitive process and the abstract square shapes of the net, and how depending on movement, the direction of the lines can adopt a different route. This type of cross-word effect provides me with a new language and I’ve been deepening my exploration of this since being here.Since arriving at the beginning of November, I’ve got into a bit of a routine — waking up as soon as the light peaks through the window and hearing the cock or the nearby church break into song; buying deliciously fresh mango and pineapple cut meticulously from the lady who sells at the same place every morning; exchanging a warm ‘good morning’ or ‘good evening’ with the community members I cross paths with — simple things which have given me moments of joy and some sort of comfort. I have gotten a real sense of ‘home’ and connection from being here. https://soimadouibrahim.com/Blessing-in-disguise Sat, 20 Jun 2026 12:28:04 +0000 Soimadou Ibrahim

ERD, Seoul, SKMay 2 - 31, 2024 This new selection of works combines figurative elements with hints of abstraction. Concrete lines cut through the canvas or subjects, as little pockets of life’s chapters, to highlight the power of persistence through a more simplified aesthetic. In others, chaotic drips of colour challenge the soft strokes of acrylic, alluding to unforeseen hurdles that may come your way. These paintings weave reality and deception, hinting at the need for perseverance so that the illusion of misfortune is in the end overshadowed by triumph.The use of ink was a deliberate choice; its uncertain characteristic lends itself to being the perfect medium for embracing imperfections and unpredictability, which Ibrahim was eager to explore. The artist intended to concede control and let the ink create its own path, a stark contrast to his familiar uniform strokes of acrylic paint. With less texture and the glowing hues of ink taking prominence, these new works are gently punctuated with a new signature.“The fact that the ink takes longer to dry than usual acrylic and drips haphazardly, indirectly creates these blurry effects and almost erases the previous paint. It’s a constant battle between the colours, whereby the strongest and darker one usually takes dominance. Sometimes they mix to create a new colour or form, but ultimately the paint is acting on its own and making its own decisions”, said Ibrahim. &nbsp;In ‘JP Adams’ (2024), drips of white and green are suspended with a single row of white that morphs into the green amid vibrant and cloudy shades of green. Similarly, drips of sienna and black almost erase the character's facial features, creating an intriguing illusion. In the series of net paintings, including ‘Crossword’ (2024) and ‘Pockets Of Surprise’ (2024), Ibrahim introduces another element to signal a , in which the whole surface of the canvas is seized by white lines, inspired not only by the various shapes that form a football net but also by the varying nature of life’s chapters.“I was attracted to the abstract square shape of the net, and how depending on movement, the direction of the lines can adopt a different route; this type of cross-word effect provides a language in which I can choose to speak with.”The squares formed by the net may appear uniform in shape, but when viewed closely, each embraces its own distinctive entity with a unique personality that is made up of subtle variations in brushstroke. Not dissimilar to Simon Hantaï’s Pliage paintings, which involve a process between surrealist automatism and abstract expressionism, the net series reveal a matrix of alternations between a seemingly mesmerising and continual web and clean white lines on a monochrome background. The artwork ‘Champ’ (2024) encompasses the very essence of this exhibition, a boxer having overcome defeats through commitment and endurance so as to enjoy the sweetness that final joy brings.

June 16, 2023Not only do we rely on nature and the state of connectedness for our survival, but also as a means to flourish. The food we savour, the sanctuaries we build for ourselves, and the relationships we forge; all seeds that allow us to thrive. In Deeds and Gestures points to the act of giving and receiving; a two way type of love. It’s about the mutual connection that exists between human beings and with nature.This exhibition hints at the fleetingness and fragility of life, and how easily its symbolic nature can be shifted off balance if the act of nurturing is forgotten. It warns us that reaching and maintaining this harmonious balance of giving and receiving is wholeheartedly dependent on everything we do as human beings. We must, therefore, consciously nurture these connections amongst each other and with nature in order for life on both sides to prosper; a positive karma, you could say.In his practice, Ibrahim gives humans, plants and wildlife equal weight, using vibrant colours and soft brushstrokes to render the elements harmoniously. This new body of work inspires us to take steps to conserve and nourish all that surrounds us, empowering fauna and flora to bear fruit. https://soimadouibrahim.com/A-path-will-always-appear Sun, 21 Jun 2026 14:55:02 +0000 Soimadou Ibrahim https://soimadouibrahim.com/A-path-will-always-appear <img width="2000" height="2600" width_o="2000" height_o="2600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bf7bfba3fec0ac0544acda15d3a79db54444c0150c6e5b15bd866e62e51db857/bb22-5-1317.jpg" data-mid="249675430" border="0" data-scale="90" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bf7bfba3fec0ac0544acda15d3a79db54444c0150c6e5b15bd866e62e51db857/bb22-5-1317.jpg" />From Aïn Temouchent to Aïn Sfa, 2022 Acrylic on canvas, 120x90cm/48x36in <img width="2000" height="2600" width_o="2000" height_o="2600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0ef0ffc2e5a5c29f4437fab6abc88a98ac0fdd575470e58a33ac5a811310a1cf/bb22-7-1612.jpg" data-mid="249675710" border="0" data-scale="90" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0ef0ffc2e5a5c29f4437fab6abc88a98ac0fdd575470e58a33ac5a811310a1cf/bb22-7-1612.jpg" />Beloved Brother, 2022 Acrylic on canvas, 120x90cm/48x36in <img width="6600" height="4402" width_o="6600" height_o="4402" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a1067b01e7c201e12896e01eaffc4531e7a00ede8680b42baafefabc725d4154/DSC01935-copy-6.jpg" data-mid="249675427" border="0" data-scale="90" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a1067b01e7c201e12896e01eaffc4531e7a00ede8680b42baafefabc725d4154/DSC01935-copy-6.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="2805" width_o="2000" height_o="2805" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cf236efac157f8764947fb86ff0d0994731d9fe55f776a17ec4148654354aeee/bb22-3-1317.jpg" data-mid="249675434" border="0" data-scale="90" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cf236efac157f8764947fb86ff0d0994731d9fe55f776a17ec4148654354aeee/bb22-3-1317.jpg" /> King K, 2022 Acrylic on canvas, 180x120cm/72x48in <img width="2000" height="2805" width_o="2000" height_o="2805" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4c311f165fa37e9f08e3926ffcb1c2c9be411acd0cc0d8ec57cb6ef54b890256/bb22-6-1559.jpg" data-mid="249675563" border="0" data-scale="90" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4c311f165fa37e9f08e3926ffcb1c2c9be411acd0cc0d8ec57cb6ef54b890256/bb22-6-1559.jpg" /> Quai de Bercy, 2022 Acrylic on canvas, 180x120cm/72x48in <img width="2000" height="1333" width_o="2000" height_o="1333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b05ef2311bd99d71a5d0e1f9fffd9f85c33f341527243159cd15aa5c650f6216/test-Untitled-home-4.jpg" data-mid="249675429" border="0" data-scale="90" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b05ef2311bd99d71a5d0e1f9fffd9f85c33f341527243159cd15aa5c650f6216/test-Untitled-home-4.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="1505" width_o="2000" height_o="1505" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/70670e0099e9f64dda94cd19d984a8fb8005f5e7a0fb4f975f27a1d29f7cbbca/bb22-2-1317.jpg" data-mid="249675433" border="0" data-scale="90" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/70670e0099e9f64dda94cd19d984a8fb8005f5e7a0fb4f975f27a1d29f7cbbca/bb22-2-1317.jpg" />Résidence Adama, 2022 Acrylic on canvas, 150x210cm/60x83in <img width="1606" height="2600" width_o="1606" height_o="2600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/47c93f329b7ad9c4f9905561ed811c07d6a41ce058f30f04e88c77d22ec09574/bb22-8-1612.jpg" data-mid="249675796" border="0" data-scale="90" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/47c93f329b7ad9c4f9905561ed811c07d6a41ce058f30f04e88c77d22ec09574/bb22-8-1612.jpg" />Coming Home, 2022 Acrylic on board, 210x120cm/83x48in <img width="2000" height="2551" width_o="2000" height_o="2551" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3069b37c6ea4e0064eab0aaceb8c0d4a33aa9ee86c118a6e77c2a453d0a56c5c/bb22-1-1317.jpg" data-mid="249675432" border="0" data-scale="90" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3069b37c6ea4e0064eab0aaceb8c0d4a33aa9ee86c118a6e77c2a453d0a56c5c/bb22-1-1317.jpg" /> Sky Blue, 2022 Acrylic on canvas, 70x50cm/27x19in <img width="6600" height="4402" width_o="6600" height_o="4402" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/dfc68052cc96362c9bd4dc2da712e0f2a68acd6605027b50a97cbc967c9fc87e/DSC01869-copy1333.jpg" data-mid="249675426" border="0" data-scale="90" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/dfc68052cc96362c9bd4dc2da712e0f2a68acd6605027b50a97cbc967c9fc87e/DSC01869-copy1333.jpg" /> <img width="6600" height="4402" width_o="6600" height_o="4402" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/981780db1ba5c748e9240011e629393b0d298c906b6091afe3f5210bd6fc1a72/DSC01935-copy-5.jpg" data-mid="249675425" border="0" data-scale="90" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/981780db1ba5c748e9240011e629393b0d298c906b6091afe3f5210bd6fc1a72/DSC01935-copy-5.jpg" /> A path will always appearBill Brady Gallery, Miami, USNovember 29, 2022 - January 7, 2023 A path will always appear inspires each of us to reflect on our own fragility in the constant pursuit for contentment. It gestures to people who have had to migrate, whether this be physically, spiritually or mentally, in search of the answer. These artworks are painted with a certain vibrancy and with a confident recurring brushstroke, suggesting a complex and agitated history associated with the universal desire for fulfilment.For example, the painting Sky Blue depicts a brother using a mobile phone, his precious solitary means of communication with family members living across the ocean. Although this scene can be perceived as a symbol of society’s addiction to technology, it serves as a gentle reminder that for some communities, this small device is their only pathway to support and connection with loved ones. King K and Beloved Brother are both inspired by ‘Kangas’ or ‘Lessos’, a printed fabric popular in Eastern Africa, particularly in Tanzania and Kenya. It is also prevalent in the coastal area where Swahili culture is settled, including Mozambique and Comoros.By incorporating some of these iconic design references, such as the colourful, abstract shapes within the frames of the canvas, the artist is not only paying homage to his own Swahili culture but is shining a light on a traditional practice that deserves to travel for new audiences to see. https://soimadouibrahim.com/Art-Fair-Tokyo Mon, 22 Jun 2026 12:19:21 +0000 Soimadou Ibrahim https://soimadouibrahim.com/Art-Fair-Tokyo <img width="1192" height="1600" width_o="1192"
