Ibrahima Kébé (1955-2019) - La fratrie

Unique painting of contemporary African naive art - Senegal by artist Ibrahima Kébé

Ibrahima Kébé, born October 2, 1955 in Kaolack and died September 8, 2019 in Dakar, is a Senegalese contemporary artist.

Kébé was a painter of everyday life: he created glimpses of life in Senegalese society. He painted fleeting moments of life, vividly colored, filled with naivety, poetry, sincerity and emotion.

Ibrahima Kebé apprehends the universe by telling us stories through his brush, capturing moments of happiness – children playing, women talking to each other, characters in motion caught by their dreams. The actors in these scenes of life, often with their necks stretched, which gives them a coquettish air, a charm, a sway – flexibility in the face of life's vagaries – go about their occupations.

No other artist, in Senegal's contemporary arts, did as he did, creating such forms with such colors. In his works, women occupied a place that was at least essential, if not predominant.

His works have been exhibited in many countries and owned by countless collectors around the world.
