About the Item
“Entre Feu et Ocean” features two figures with distinctive elongated ears against a vibrant, fish-scale patterned background of blue, red, and orange hues. The foreground figure exudes a serene yet powerful presence, their skin tone a deep, rich black contrasting with gold-toned accents around the eyes. Their expression is one of calm dignity, with long braids adding texture and movement. The second figure rests their head against the first, embodying a sense of tender intimacy and trust. The use of bold, flat colours and geometric patterns in the background adds a dynamic energy, enhancing the figures' otherworldly aura. This interplay between the fantastical elements and the realistic depiction of emotion creates a captivating visual experience, showcasing the unique blending of surrealism with cultural themes.
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.
