Koffins (Bryan Houessou, b. 1999)
Expose, mais absente
Original oil on canvas

Expose, mais absente — Exposed, but absent — balances vulnerability and anonymity, depicting a nude figure adorned only with a bold red blindfold against a rich, saturated green background. The piece explores the dualities of presence and absence that run through Koffins' practice, the figure's exposure paired with a deliberate withholding of identity.

Bryan Houessou — self-taught, formed by a period of intensive study at the Louvre, transitioning from high-end custom apparel to full-time painting in 2023 — brings to this subject the formal precision and emotional intelligence that has made his 2026 UK debut exhibition, Holding the Sky at Creed Gallery, one of the most talked-about debut shows in the London gallery calendar. Available through Creed Gallery, Ascot, for collectors across Berkshire, Surrey, and London.
