ALICE BOURGEOIS

Plastic Art from France

Alice Bourgeois shapes a new image of Africa, that of a continent full of color, movement and communication, the fantasy of a dream land. With each new line, the Artist gets a little closer to the Senegalese soul.

The work of Alice Bourgeois is very strongly marked by Senegal, the country where she grew up. Her father, a professor at the Beaux-Arts in Dakar, participated in her awareness of the creative world from childhood. Her inspiration is rooted in the work of artists or creators such as Oumou Sy, Ousman Sow, Sembene Ousman or Aissa Dione.

As for the subject, it is feminine. The delicate line of the face is temporarily filed, but never completely covered. The colors with pop accents, hairstyles, postures, ornaments, evolve over the works.
