Gradivia Gallery invites visitors to discover an incredible dialogue between Jean-Michel Basquiat's drawings and anthropomorphic and zoomorphic nkisi nkonde statues from the Kongo cultural sphere, from the Royal Museum for Central Africa in Tervuren. These superb nail fetishes are shown to the public for the first time and resonate with Basquiat's work. Points of Balance, Abysses, Resonance, Jean-Michel Basquiat and the Kongo Universe is an extraordinary artistic dialogue, carefully displayed in the beautiful 17th century mansion that houses the Gradiva Gallery.
