Studio Visits @ Dakar

13 - 31 May 2022 

As part of the OFF of the Dakar Biennale 2022, the artist Vincent Michéa offers an exhibition of new works in his studio in Dakar. This new series takes as its subject Dakar and its architecture, notably the Plateau district. Visits by appointment from May 13 until the end of the month. Contact: aby@cecilefakhoury.com

As a painter of the picturesque, the artist takes us to a city at the crossroads of worlds, those of modernism and vernacular tradition, whose meeting has given birth to this particular aesthetic that fascinates the artist here: critical regionalism. Hôtel Indépendance, Immeuble des Eaux, Building Maginot, disappeared or still standing, these buildings are the starting point of Michéa's dreamer who takes us with him from memories to sensations, on a background of always blue sky.
