Founded by Mariane Ibrahim-Lenhardt, in Seattle in January 2012, the gallery exposes contemporary arts, juxtaposing talented emerging artists and established contemporary artists. While the core focus of Mariane Ibrahim Gallery is contemporary art from Africa and photography, the gallery has also been expanding its horizons with the representation of renowned international artists such as Maimouna Guerresi (Italy/Senegal) and Kimiko Yoshida (Japan).
The commitment to showing new artists is reinforced by a strong curatorial programming, furthering the growth of emerging artists such as Ruby Onyinyechi Amanze, Jim Chuchu, Ayana V Jackson, Fabrice Monteiro and Zohra Opoku.
With a deliberate approach to provide international resonance to the work of the artists it represents, Mariane Ibrahim Gallery has increased its reach with participation in art fairs and museum exhibitions around the world (supported by a strong commitment to serve institutions).
