Omar Ba
Wetten 2/Total 70 CHF
Omar Ba was born in Senegal. He ives and works in Sierre and studies at the Ecole cantonale d’art du Valais ECAV in Sierre.
The social norms and the duties of African society, or the state of the planet, endangered by extreme exploitation are the preferred subjects of this Senegalese artist, currently studying at the ECAV.
The exhibited paintings concentrate on those forgotten by History, the ancient African World War II fighters - known as the Senegalese infantrymen - whose medals the artist looks for and reproduces. An approach that involves an aesthetic research in a work about memory.
