About this artwork
This work, entitled PROFILE 1, is a representation of an anonymous character but which is at the same time plural through the multiple colors of fabrics glued to the face. Since he
works on a concept which is called Mix-Weaving, it associates different cultures and here
he is trying to find a solution to the dark period of crisis that we are going through. So
it features a human on a blue frame which is synonymous with dream and hope and the
… character is an unknown profile dressed in the traditional way in woven loincloth or rabaal
with accessories like an African warrior. So I challenge humans despite our
differences to remain strong and united to face this health and economic crisis, to
tap into our identity and open up to others. We are all different but at
by building relationships, our world will be a better place.

« Art is the best way for man to relate to what is going on in his society. It allows us to have a common and universal language beyond borders. »
Khadim GUEYE known as Kha Bamba was born on October 20, 1991 in Diourbel, Senegal. He lives and works in Dakar, precisely in Hamo 6, Guédiawaye. In 2013 he passed the entrance exam to the National School of Arts of Senegal (ENA) for training in visual arts and obtained his National Diploma of Fine Arts (DNBA) in 2017, graduating with honors in visual communication. Inspired by his mother, a seamstress, and his uncle, artist Papa Ibra TALL, who did tapestry, a precursor of art in Senegal, he chose textiles as a medium and which he considers a material that has the power to define the identity of a community or a country. His works have been exhibited nationally and internationally. His vibrant abstract expressionist pieces are a fusion of cultures, traditions, and the exploration of his own identity and humanity in general. Kha Bamba combines embroidery and painting techniques with textiles and acrylics on canvas or fabric.
