Malick Kebe

Malick KEBE lives in Ivory Coast. He is 30 years old and belongs to the “Instagram" generation. It was social media that propelled him to the forefront. In 2019 he was spotted by Apple, Twitter and Toyota. This consecration pushed him to the front of the stage by allowing him to exhibit his creations in Paris, Atlanta (United States), Zanzibar (Tanzania) and Abidjan (Ivory Coast). Halfway between photography and painting, he shakes up the codes, works on his photos in postproduction. Malick relies on a key element: color.

“The color is my flag, it is Africa. For me any object is above all a color before being a form. Color has a hold on me. I spend hours on my photos in post-production. My sublimated models embody a story through oversaturated colors. »
