Ibrahima Kébé (1955-2019) - La fratrie

Unique piece 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 daily life: he created snapshots of life in Senegalese society. He painted fleeting moments of life, colorful, 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 kind of undulation – flexibility in the face of life’s uncertainties – go about their activities.

No other artist, in the contemporary arts of Senegal, did as he did, created such forms with such colors. In his works, women occupied a place if not essential, at least predominant.

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