PAPA GORA TALL AT GALLERY M
Gallery M is pleased to welcome the artist Papa Gora Tall back to Gallery M with a new exhibition of his paintings. Papa Gora Tall came to the United States in 2000 from Senegal, where he studied art at the Ecole de Beaux Arts. His work was included in a Gallery M group show not long after that. In a recent conversation, the artist reported that after the opportunity of having his work seen at the Gallery, he was offered many
shows.
The new exhibition will include works in acrylic on canvas, approximately twelve in all, with one mixed media piece. Below is a work entitled Melody, which shows the artist’s penchant for utilizing strong colors and his keen graphic sensibility. Papa Gora Tall is not only a fine artist, but also works in the interior and graphic design fields.
