Invitation to travel
Artist: Parvine Curie, Marino Di Teana, Hiquily, Christos Kalfas, Kévin-Ademola Sangosanya and Yazid Oulab.
From Paris to the sacred forests of Nigeria, via the Mediterranean basin and North Africa, Galerie LOFT is pleased to take you on a journey to the heart of multicultural French contemporary art, nourished by all cultural and social diversity.
These artists, confirmed or emerging, all have a “plural” view of our world and our time, and it is through their works as much as through their sensibilities that they invite us today to discover a world in construction, symbolic, poetic or grandiose.

Philippe Hiquily
Philippe Hiquily, a reluctant hero, came into this life on a path that would often tempt him to stray away under the onslaught of an unpredictable destiny. His incongruous endeavors seemingly deviating from the initial goal only appear to do so and actually push it forward in a single direction. His path reveals a unity captured by his work. An…
