L'année dernière, Dior dévoilait Dior Lady Art, une collection mêlant mode et art contemporain et invitait pour sa première édition Marc Quinn, Ian Davenport ou Jason Martin à réinventer le célèbre objet rendu célèbre par la princesse Diana.

Pour sa seconde édition, Dior convoque dix nouveaux artistes issus du monde entier à repousser les limites de leur art avec comme toile blanche le fameux Lady Dior : les poèmes arc-en-ciel de John Giorno, du Plexiglas façon miroir brisé de Lee Bul, les cartes du monde customisées de Hong Hao, les techniques inspirées de la culture nbdele (peuple du Zimbabwe et du nord-est de lAfriques du Sud) de Namsa Leuba, les aquarelles oniriques de Friedrich Kunath,les techniques mêlant haute couture et artisanat kenyan de Jamilla Okubo, les peintures façon grafitti de Betty Mariani, les œuvres inachevées de Spencer Sweeney, les tourbillons envoûtants de Jack Pierson et enfin les motifs façon céramique florale de David Wiseman.

Namsa Leuba - The Financial Times / Foam talent 2017

The acclaimed Fotografiemuseum Amsterdam or Foam in Amsterdam each year presents Foam Talent, its list of 20 rising stars in the photography world. One of the most striking artists on the list is the Swiss-Guinean, Namsa Leuba, who grew up in Switzerland and studied at the University of Art and Design Lausanne. Her work explores the western representation of African identity and has been published in the British Journal of Photography, and New York Magazine. Foam is showcasing work from her NGL series, an acronym for ‘Next Generation Lagos’, in which she explores the energy and creativity of Nigeria’s capital city.
