Description from the seller
Unique painting of contemporary African naive art - Senegal by the artist Ibrahima Kébé
Ibrahima Kébé, born on October 2, 1955 in Kaolack and died on September 8, 2019 in Dakar, was a contemporary Senegalese artist.
Kébé was a painter of everyday life: he depicted snapshots of Senegalese society. He painted fleeting moments of life, vividly colorful, filled with naivety, poetry, sincerity, and emotion.
Ibrahima Kébé grasps the universe by telling us stories with his brush, capturing moments of happiness – children at play, women talking to one another, characters in motion caught by their dreams. The actors in these scenes of life, often with their heads slightly tilted, give them a coquettish air, a charm, a sense of sway – flexibility in the face of life’s ups and downs – as they go about their activities.
No other artist in Senegal’s contemporary arts did as he did, creating such forms with such colors. In his works, women occupied a central, if not essential, place.
His works have been exhibited in many countries and owned by innumerable collectors around the world.
Provenance: private collection - Côte d’Azur
22x48 cm
