AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Unique contemporary African naive art painting - Senegal by the artist Ibrahima Kébé
Ibrahima Kébé, born on October 2, 1955 in Kaolack and died on September 8, 2019 in Dakar, is a Senegalese contemporary artist.
Kébé was a painter of everyday life: he captured snapshots of life in Senegalese society. He painted fleeting moments of life, brightly colored, full of naïveté, poetry, sincerity and emotion.
Ibrahima Kebé apprehends the universe by telling us stories with his brush, capturing moments of happiness – children playing, women talking to each other, characters in motion caught up in their dreams. The actors in these scenes of life, often with elongated necks, which gives them a coquettish air, a charm, a waviness – flexibility in the face of the uncertainties of existence – 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 held a place that was at least essential, if not predominant.
His works have been exhibited in many countries and with countless collectors around the world.
Provenance: private collection - Côte d’Azur
