Post lot text

L’esthétique figurative d’Omar Ba s’est construite autour des souvenirs et des expériences du passé, exprimant son intérêt pour la symbolique du réel. Mettant au cœur de son travail la notion de dualité, l’artiste affirme sa double identité construite entre le Sénégal et la Suisse. Entre expression personnelle et revendications politiques, l’histoire côtoie la contemporanéité, le monde réel touche l’imaginaire et nous plonge dans un univers bestial et délicat au moyen de matériaux hybrides, de l’encre dorée à la craie. Tout en dépeignant un monde de violence et de conflit lié au colonialisme, Omar Ba célèbre la beauté et la grandeur des peuples d’Afrique, explorant l’héritage de la diaspora africaine d’aujourd’hui. En 2011, l’artiste a reçu le Swiss Art Award. Ses œuvres ont été exposées dans de nombreuses institutions internationales : Palais des Beaux-Arts de Bruxelles (2017), Hales Gallery de Londres (2014, 2017), Biennale de Dakar, Sénégal (2014). Une exposition, Same dream, lui a été entièrement dédiée en 2019 à Toronto et Montréal.

Omar Ba's figurative aesthetic is built around memories and experiences of the past, expressing his interest in the symbolism of reality. Putting the notion of duality at the heart of his work, the artist affirms his dual identity built between Senegal and Switzerland. Between personal expression and political claims, history rubs shoulders with contemporaneity, the real world touches the imaginary and plunges us into a bestial and delicate universe by means of hybrid materials, from golden ink to chalk. While depicting a world of violence and conflict related to colonialism, Omar Ba celebrates the beauty and grandeur of the peoples of Africa, exploring the legacy of the African diaspora today. In 2011, the artist received the Swiss Art Award. His work has been exhibited in many international institutions: Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels (2017), Hales Gallery in London (2014, 2017), Dakar Biennale, Senegal (2014). An exhibition, Same dream, was entirely dedicated to him in 2019 in Toronto and Montreal.
