Meet The Artist - Ismaila Fatty

For Stockholm Craft Week 2023, Southnord's art space housed the works of Ismaila Fatty, a visionary artist who blends traditional craftsmanship with a deep connection to cultural roots. 'Collective Resonance' unveils a remarkable collection born from meticulous techniques, where humble rag-rugs transform into vibrant, organic sculptures. Ismaila's journey spans continents, drawing inspiration from personal experiences, resulting in artworks reminiscent of carillons and pirogues. From Gambia to Sweden, this creative odyssey comes to life in his first ever solo exhibition.
