Hyperallergic reviews Keijsers Koning's presentation at Untitled

Alexandra Martinez reviewed the work by Beya Gille Gacha for Hyperallergic during our presentation at Untitled.

"At this fair that’s right on the sand, French-Cameroonian artist Beya Gille Gacha immediately captures visitors’ attention at Keijsers Koning booth. Her life-like sculpture “Orant 5” (2019) features a young child seemingly trying to tidy their mess after breaking a pot with a bird of paradise plant, but after closer inspection, it becomes clear that the figure is breaking the concrete in order to let the soil and the plant prosper. The sculpture is covered in blue beads, evoking the Bamileke tradition from Cameroon, where beading artwork is a way to show value, just like covering it in gold or ivory. Here, Gacha demonstrates the value of each human being’s efforts to bring the earth back to life. " Alexandra Martinez, Hyperallergic 2023
