About the Item
“Echo des Racines”, or "Echo of the roots", captures a poised individual against a vivid, geometric backdrop. The subject, with hair styled in textured twists, commands attention. Their direct gaze invites viewers into a contemplative dialogue. The background features a dynamic checkerboard pattern in vibrant hues of blue, pink, and yellow, creating a lively contrast with the subject's red attire. The intricate hairstyle and expressive facial features are rendered with meticulous attention to detail, highlighting the artist's skill. The juxtaposition of the bold, colourful background with the solemn expression of the subject adds depth, making the piece both visually captivating and thought-provoking. This artwork is a masterful blend of pattern and portraiture, celebrating identity and individuality.
Modou Guèye, born on 5 September 1990 in Pikine, Senegal, is a visionary painter who weaves the essence of African cultural heritage with the threads of modernity. His artistic journey, rooted in the vibrant tapestry of his parents’ artistic professions, has evolved into a fascinating exploration of colour, emotion and human connection.
