Fetish

Carlo Bella x Colnaghi

13 Nov 2025 - 16 Jan 2026

Colnaghi New York is pleased to announce its upcoming exhibition Fetish, the second in a series of collaborations with Carlo Bella. Following Power Figures in May, this exhibition continues the gallery’s initiative to place African and European masterpieces into direct art-historical dialogue through a rigorously researched thematic lens.
The exhibition brings together European devotional paintings and bronzes with ritual figures from Central and West Africa, showing how spirituality is expressed through crafted form. In European art, the body conveys divine suffering and salvation. Works include Luca Cambiaso’s Flagellation of Christ and his drawing Saint Catherine Rescued from the Wheel, Luigi Amidani’s San Sebastiano, Nicolás Enríquez’s Dolorosa, François Girardon’s Marsyas, and Guglielmo della Porta’s Crucified Christ. The African works represent a range of carving traditions from Central and West Africa. These include a Teke buti figure from the Republic of the Congo, and figures by Baule, Senufo, Luba, Bakongo, Hemba, Kongo, Lumbo, Maou, and Losso artists, made from materials such as wood, glass, cowrie shells, metal, and organic matter. Together they demonstrate the variety of forms and techniques through which belief is made material.
