IT’S TIME FOR MODOU GUEYE!

Modou Gueye (Senegal) is among a compelling generation of contemporary African artists redefining portraiture through emotion, memory, and chromatic intensity.

Now based in Barcelona, his practice has gained increasing international recognition through exhibitions including Dak’Art Biennale 2024 and AfriKin Art Fair during Miami Art Week / Art Basel Miami Beach. His journey across geographies and cultures has profoundly shaped an artistic vocabulary grounded in empathy, resilience, and human connection.

For Gueye, portraiture extends beyond representation. His figures inhabit richly patterned and luminous environments where color becomes psychological space and identity unfolds through presence rather than narrative certainty. Each canvas invites contemplation of dignity, vulnerability, and the complexity of lived experience.

OOA Gallery is pleased to present four works by Modou Gueye as part of the group exhibition ECCE UOMO: Masculinity in Contemporary African Art.

Saturday, June 6th at 8pm

ā€œPara mí la autenticidad es hacer lo amas.
Mantener tu originalidad.
Transmitirla.
Para mí el arte es eso.

Expresar mis emociones.
Mostrárselas a la gente. 

Me gusta cuando la gente reacciona.
Cuando se alegran.
Mi arte es eso.ā€

Cervello Artistico is back after a long summer break.

Our first interview is with Senegalese painter and model Modou Guèye, recorded at El Santo @elsantostore in Barcelona, where he brought together his two creative worlds through a collaboration with the brand.

We spoke about his journey from Senegal to Togo and now Barcelona, the influence of African cultural heritage on his work, and how colour, emotion, and human connection shape the stories he tells through painting.

Modou’s work is a vibrant exploration of beauty, emotion, and existence, bringing together the traditions that shaped him with the experiences of the life he is building today.

So stay tuned!

Cervello Artistico vuelve la próxima semana después de un largo descanso de verano.

¿Y qué mejor manera de volver que con una conversación sobre arte, identidad, cultura y los diferentes mundos en los que nos movemos?

Nuestra primera entrevista es con el pintor y modelo senegalés Modou GueĢ€ye, grabada en El Santo @elsantostore en Barcelona, donde unió sus dos mundos creativos a través de una colaboración con la marca.

Hablamos sobre su trayectoria desde Senegal hasta Togo y, finalmente, Barcelona, sobre la influencia de la herencia cultural africana en su obra y sobre cómo el color, la emoción y la conexión humana dan forma a las historias que cuenta a través de la pintura.

El trabajo de Modou es una vibrante exploración de la belleza, la emoción y la existencia, uniendo las tradiciones que lo han formado con las experiencias de la vida que está construyendo hoy.

Modou GueĢ€ye explores memory, identity, and lived experience through expressive figurative painting rooted in contemporary African life. His portraits and everyday scenes use bold colour and layered composition to reflect belonging, migration, and cultural continuity.⁠
⁠
Shaped by life between Senegal, Togo, and Spain, GueĢ€ye’s work blends observation and memory into intimate depictions of domestic and communal moments, centred on connection and shared humanity.⁠

Modou, thanks for filling our casa with so much beauty!

Last Thursday we opened an art exhibit at our Flagship store in Barcelona. 

I met Modou at an event. 
His energy captivated me. 
And when I saw his work... it’s fascinating!
So we decided to do something together.
And so much beauty came out of it… taken in Barcelona, Spain by @artmodu
