The artist

Born in 1985 in Kaffrine, Senegal, Alioune Diagne lives and works in Senegal and France. After studying at the Dakar École des Beaux-Arts in 2008, Alioune Diagne developed an imaginary script as a universal language and intimate account of fragments of his life in Dakar and on his travels. A socially engaged artist, he opens the door to a deep-seated exploration of the major challenges facing the world today: ecology, the place of women in society, racism and the notions of transmission and heritage. In April 2024 the artist had the honour of representing his country on the Senegalese pavilion at the 60th Venice Biennale international art exhibition with the project Bokk - Bounds. He has been represented by Galerie Templon since 2022.
