The Alliance Française de Banjul is delighted to welcome Gambian visual artist John S. Mendy for a month-long artistic residency from March 1 to March 31, 2025.
A rising talent in The Gambia’s contemporary art scene, Mendy specializes in hyper-realistic pencil portraits, capturing the essence of his subjects with striking precision. A self-taught and passionate artist, he also explores sculpture, painting, and pen art, constantly pushing the boundaries of his creativity.
Mendy has already showcased his work at Key Art Gallery, and this residency marks a new milestone in his artistic journey. Throughout March, he will create a series of portraits reflecting his personal vision, which will be presented in an exhibition in April 2025.
The Alliance Française de Banjul is proud to support this emerging artist, contributing to the vibrant artistic landscape of The Gambia.
