The Art Hedger, “the accidental, intuitive collector who over decades of speaking with artists…,” catches up with Issa Sylla, who was in Kenya. He encourages Issa to check out the local art scene. While in the throes of a “Pandemic Lockdown,” Issa seizes an opportunity visit art galleries. He empathically connects with the images and artists (they speak to him, as Richard Nattoo and the German Romantics would say). The works spark meaningful and genuine connections between Issa and the Art Makers. He comes away from the experience with a deeper understanding of himself; the realization that he and the artists share much in common. He leaves with a keener sense of his place. Yes, Art sparks dialogue, connections, stories, lends perspective from which we can gather meaning and it can deliver happiness, even in a Pandemic.
