Beschreibung der Ausstellung: Galerie Guy Bärtschi is pleased to present for the third
time since 2010 a personal exhibition of Omar Ba,
Senegalese-born artist living in Geneva, following his
studies in this city. The artistic world of Omar Ba is
inhabited by hybrid creatures typically portrayed on a
black background. Emerging from the darkness, colorful
touches burst to the surface, revealing figures whose
faces, often bestial, are hidden and mysterious. The
cow, hedgehog, fish, tiger, and monkey are but some of
the majestic messengers the artist brings into his art.
Omar Ba’s works tell stories that eliminate borders
between Africa and Europe; past and present; good or
bad. Painted on corrugated cardboard, a rough material
that the artist is particularly fond of, the compositions
reveal details painted with precision.
