Press Release
Alice Amati is delighted to announce the first UK solo exhibition of paintings by French artist Annabelle Agbo Godeau, opening with a private view on the 5th of September, and running until the 5th of October, 2024.
In the 2024 painting Dainah, 29-year-old Düsseldorf-based artist Annabelle Agbo Godeau depicts a pivotal moment in the 1932 French drama ‘Dainah La Métisse’ (Dainah The Mulatto). Dainah, a young mixed-race dancer (played by the little-known actress Laurence Clavius), captures the attention of passengers on a luxury ship dressed in a distinctive fitted wire headdress, which New York Times critic Mike Hale wrote contrasts with the “flabby porcine masks” worn by the “jaded, gossiping white passengers.”1 In the film, Dainah works on the ocean liner alongside her magician husband. But after her elegant moves and flirtatious personality catches the eye of a ship engineer and sparks jealousy in her partner, she disappears, putting both men under suspicion of murder.
