LOMAN ART

Loman, an Australian, born in Cape Town, moved to Dakar in 2007. She feels the lively and creative force of the Senegalese capital, which has since become a central place for contemporary African art with events such as the Biennial of Dak'Art and the Partcours, a few of which she has participated in since 2012. Passionate about African art, she felt connected with Dakar, its vibrancy of colors, its people, their generosity and hope. She tried to make something new and different, and encourage people to open their eyes and imagination.

After a few years, she opened her home, the Loman Art Gallery, to collective exhibitions where, along with her own work, pieces of art from other Senegalese artists are also exhibited. Her career as a self-taught artist leads her to broaden her skills. She creates paintings decorated with metal, designs furniture, writes and sets to music her poems. Three dimensions that open on many horizons, in a coherent whole that undeniably brings the footprint of Loman Art.

The Loman Art house is a convivial space where you can find an art cafe, an art gallery, a swimming pool and a few bedrooms. In the showroom of Loman Art House there are cabinets, sofas, etc., all combining wood and metal astutely, both in the structure of the pieces and in the decorative recycled elements which adorn them. If geometry prevails, the aesthetic balance is found in the irregularity of the size and shapes of the elements. The classical and colossal dimensions of the furniture are broken, to surprise the eye and slip a touch of poetic madness with sobriety and chic. Mobiles and mirrors are essential to the inspiration of Loman, who likes to approach new techniques and subjects using everyday objects. Inspired by nature and tribal forms, these pieces, like their sculpted pictures, play with shadows, weight, balance, space and images, which differ every moment.This place reflects Loman's vision. She wanted to create a space for all the artists to have an opportunity to present their work, whether they are young or professional artists. This is a place where they can feel at home, create opportunities for themselves as well as being inspired by other artists. It's a space where they can have exposure, also a place where people can connect; like her art, or the room in the picture here. It’s connecting everything and shows how everything is connected.
