This catalogue supports the exhibition Masquerade by Aboudia at the Galerie Cécile Fakhoury in Dakar, from the 20th of September to the 22nd of November 2019.
The catalogue consists of a text by Delphine Lopez, "Masquerade", exhibition views, studio photos and reproductions of the works that form part of Masquerade. It also contains a series of works on paper, realized by Aboudia in the Dakar gallery.
With Masquerade, Aboudia draws on an ancestral history that nourishes him as much as a raw contemporaneity. From the radical cohabitation of references springs the magical and incantatory scenes of a contemporary masquerade. Aboudia's pictorial ceremony is an opportunity to gather the wearers of old and new masks, both literal and metaphorical. There, between the seriousness of the ritual and the derisory nature of everyday life, our social stories are finally played out.
