Ndoye Douts
Senegal • 1973
Presentation
Ndoye 'Douts, born in 1973 in Sangalkam, Senegal, lives and works in Dakar.
A graduate of the National School of Arts in Dakar, Mouhamadou Ndoye 'Douts' recreates in his work the chaotic universe of African cities. Medina, the neighborhood where he lives and works, is his main source of inspiration. He has a taste for detail and his brushwork has an allusive force reminiscent of the style of the expressionists. The human silhouettes are deliberately suggested by the blurred, neglected contours.
Exhibited in Beaubourg in 2005 during the Africa Remix exhibition, Douts is also a videographer and won an award for an animated film; "Medina train-train".
