Discover 10 Highlights from Art Basel Paris 2025
"A highlight for Mariane Ibrahim at Art Basel Paris is the work of French painter Djabril Boukhenaïssi, a young rising talent celebrated for his evocative, nocturnal paintings who joined the gallery’s roster last year. The large-format work on view is infused with Boukhenaïssi’s signature lyricism, which explores the delicate lines between memory, fiction, and the fading presence of the night. This piece serves as an homage to the poets Charles Baudelaire and Rainer Maria Rilke, as well as the haunting, dreamlike palette of Symbolist artist Odilon Redon. The fair presentation builds anticipation for the artist’s first solo exhibition with the gallery, “Once Upon a Midnight Dreary,” which opens in Chicago this November."
