10/3 - 15/4/2018 - AFRICAN DANDY
The faces of his strange figures recall African masks as Turay's style is influenced by other cultures and alternates between impressionism, cubism and graffiti.
This 39-year-old artist is in constant search of the perfect expressoin of his style, which he calls "Trace", named for the cultural mix reflected in his work. This cultural mix, including his American influences and his African roots, is a combination of Western modernity and African tradition. For him, art is experimental. To give life to his figures, he doesn't just paint, he assembles and cuts and pastes and uses coffee grounds in his work.
