ABDOULAYE NDOYE

Abdoulaye Ndoye, Senegalese painter, "evokes the relationship writing entertains with the sacred, combining the image to the written word, adopting the posture of the mystic in order to bring about contemplation. He creates a void – transcending the use of a language, turning to silence, the unspeakable, opening to different possibilities." (Tissières, "Méditation sur les dérives – sacrifice/sacrilège: la peinture d'Abdoulaye Ndoye" in Saharan Crossroads).
