Through twenty or so selected pieces, the "Bambara Dogon Sénoufo" exhibition offers a more global stylistic approach to the Bambara arts and their neighbors, notably the Dogons and Sénoufos, peoples intimately linked by geography, the history of migrations, trade but also by animist practices and in relation to Islam.

The exhibition Moros y Cristianos features an important selection of Guatemalan masks patiently collected over more than ten years. These masks are a rare testimony to the syncretism that operated in Central America, combining the iconography of ancient pre-Hispanic cultures with that of the Spanish conquerors.

Why "Sacrifice", this word has for Abla & me, a double meaning, the first is that of the collector and the dealer, we do not necessarily love all the objects passionately, but some of them yes, sometimes it is very difficult to part with a piece under these conditions, for us the value of the object does not enter into this feeling, it is easier for us to sell an expensive object that we like, than a piece that we like much, which has a lesser value. The second meaning of the word "sacrifice" is, of course, the function of the objects, all in this thematic exhibition have a sacrificial patina. There is something very powerful in this act which is felt in the object, as in the "fetishes" of Kongo, Voodoo of the Benin coast or even in the "Boli" or Kono masks... We hope share our taste with you and also that you will appreciate our "Sacrifice".

The "TÉKÉ Portraits", in line with the catalog "Beyond the Masks" (2016), are the result of a selection of twenty-five statues faithful to our aesthetic choices. The aim was not to produce the umpteenth ethnographic work on a subject that has been extensively treated, but rather to draw attention to the singular links woven between the fetish, the person of the fetish and its sculptor who has the power to realize the famous fetish. The lighting of the sculptures that we present emphasizes the articulation of the volumes, their contrasts and the nuances of gray, the fine forms of the faces-masks in front of the roughness of the body, the secret shapelessness grafted of the abdominal matter, the graphic firmness of the scarifications, the textures of wood.

Since 2018, Marc Petit has been expressing his talent as an illustrator in a vast project illustrating themes from the mythologies of all peoples and all times, of which the Tischenko Gallery (Helsinki) presented a first range, "Echoes of Dreamtime", in the fall of 2019. Les couleurs de l’invisible s’inspirent en toute liberté de quelques – uns des mythes, usages intrigants, objets de rêve, récits de voyages imaginaires dont les traditions chamaniques des peuples de la Vieille Asie et des pays du Grand Nord nous rapportent les péripéties.
