About the Item

Abstract geometric futuristic cityscape in acrylic on canvas by Senegalese artist Amadou Cissé Dia. Signed bottom left. An arresting cityscape in bright colours. Geometric patterns since early Islamic times to connect spirituality with science. This is exactly what Cisse Dia, as a utopian artist, does here in creating wonderful futuristic cities with the ultimate goal of making people's lives happier. His paintings soar and lift the heart. The bringing together of humanity and cities finds resonance in the works of Fernand Leger who explored in geometric abstraction the clashing of industry and man. Two sides of the same coin. Born in 1960 in Baghagha, Senegal. Self-taught, Amadou Cissé arrived in France at the age of 18. He exercised various trades there while practising drawing. From 2001, he took on duties as a security officer which allowed him another view on the world. He began drawing urban skylines as seen from his viewpoint on the tops of buildings. His nocturnal vigils inspired him to create clever kaleidoscopic works, increasingly precise largescale cityscapes using pencil, ballpoint pen and felt-tip pen. These works are highly imaginative with a skillful play on perspective. This utopian artist/urban planner imagines architectural environments with coloured walls in order to bring joy and cheerfulness to the inhabitants. He populates its cities with buildings with multiple windows, skyscrapers along which slide highways and river ports. Our gaze must go beyond this abundance and penetrate the network of streets in order to understand the principles of urban organization that govern the work of the artist. A great traveller, his views of New York, Paris, Moscow, Cairo, London are all tributes to modern life that he has exhibited regularly since 2010.

French Mixed Media Abstract on Canvas.
Located in Cotignac, FR
Colourful, French mixed media abstract, acrylic, newsprint and ink from the 1980s. The canvas is signed and dated bottom right but we have not yet managed to decipher it. A colourful and engaging painting crossing over styles. The colourfield elements are reminiscent of the work of Mark Rothko, three defined bands of colour in orange/pink tones vertically dissecting the painting with one horizontal band across the top, and yet the elongated depiction of the female figures within the bands remind us of Gustav Klimt and his paintings of Adele. The background of the painting has been worked broadly with a palette knife whilst the detail has been added quickly and deftly with ink or finer brushstrokes. With the addition of newsprint (in French) the artist may...
