A tour of 700 Bryden, Columbus burgeoning Home of Arts with Talle Bamazi, Columbus global artist revealed the broiling volcano of art place soon to erupt. But it was the ongoing Talle Bamazi Retrospective art exhibition at the Schumacher Gallery, Capital University that led the New Americans magazine to 700 Bryden. The story is left for another day.
Titled I And My Miles: A Talle Bamazi Retrospective began on January 15 and will continue till March 27, 2024, at the Schumacher Gallery, Capital University.
“I am sincerely honored to be exhibiting at the Schumacher Gallery, Capital University. It is an inspiration not just for me but to many others who are looking forward to such an opportunity in Columbus,” said Talle Bamazi.
Born in Kara, Togo, West Africa, Talle Bamazi can be described as an artist who uses canvas as a site for activism. Through his art, Talle is intently compelled to share the story of his homeland while purposefully paying homage to his ancestors and the culturally significant ties between traditional and contemporary ideas.
Bamazi established the Kabiye Impact Contemporary African Art (KIACA) Gallery in 2003, located in Columbus, Ohio, where he was able to educate patrons on the enduring cultural gifts of his beloved Africa, while also serving as an influential talent incubator for young artists of color.
He has had several solo exhibitions, including Brecht Forum in New York and Goethe Institute in Lomé, and has been featured at the Columbus Museum of Art and the National Afro-American Museum and Cultural Center.
