Seller's Description:
Djabi, 1994
Silver print
16 x 12 in. (40.50 x 30.50 cm.)

Hands and feet are central to the work by Bâ (b. Mali, 1959). He is of the opinion that body parts are distinctive for the life of each individual.

A key figure in the development of art photography in Mali, Alioune Bâ’s monochrome images focus on tone, texture and pictorial rhythm. Bâ’s images of exquisitely decorated bodies, meanwhile, make visual poetry from local rituals by mixing abstract patterns with vivid naturalism.

Bâ works for the Musée National du Mali, where he is responsible for recording the collection photographically. In addition he often goes out on missions to small villages in order to record the last vestiges of the culture of Mali for future generations.
