African Art Prints in Dakar: What the Concept Store Carries
Art prints at Ge'eza's concept store in Point E differ from one-of-a-kind paintings: framed prints, catalogues and posters, sold on site during restaurant hours or set aside through WhatsApp.
An art print is an image reproduced in a run of several copies (a framed print, a catalogue, a poster), as opposed to a one-of-a-kind painting made by hand. At Ge'eza's concept store, in Point E, art prints sit alongside handmade crafts, design objects and fine groceries, sold on site during restaurant hours or set aside through WhatsApp while a customer decides.
A print or a one-of-a-kind work
A canvas in oil or mixed media, like the ones shown in Ge'eza's gallery, is a single piece: only one copy exists, and it sells once. A print, by contrast, is reproduced in several copies from a source image. The exact number of copies and the price of a given print are not listed here until they are shown on site: they can be checked directly at the concept store or by WhatsApp.
What the concept store carries
Ge'eza's concept store brings together four categories, covered in the guide on shopping at a concept store in Dakar: handmade crafts, design, fine groceries and art prints. The prints extend what visitors discover in the gallery next door, in a more accessible form than an original canvas, useful for anyone who wants to take home a piece of the house without buying a unique work.
Buying on site or holding a piece by WhatsApp
Everything is currently sold on site, during restaurant hours, Tuesday to Sunday, 8am to 10pm, closed on Monday. An online shop is announced for the near future, but until it opens, a print spotted online or described by a friend can be held by writing to +221 78 660 07 07 or to geezacultures@gmail.com, naming what is being looked for.
An easy gift to pack
An art print fits more easily into a suitcase than a framed canvas, which makes it a practical gift to carry abroad. The guide on gift ideas in Dakar offers other ideas in the same spirit, from fine groceries to handmade crafts, for anyone putting together a gift before leaving.
Seeing the prints in person
Nothing replaces a visit to judge the paper, the format or the framing of a print. The concept store can be visited without an appointment, during the same hours as the restaurant, and suits a stop before or after a meal, between the gallery and a coffee.
