Artist Statement for Cherif Abib Ba
|
|
|
I am a reverse glass artist from Senegal, West Africa. I paint in a variety of styles from traditional to contemporary. Reverse glass painting originated in North Africa when verses from the Koran were painted for Muslim pilgrims passing through the area. The art form spread to West Africa around the 19th century and expanded beyond religious verses, it later depicted religious figures like Cheikh Amadou Bamba and scenes from the bible like Noah's Ark. Contemporary reverse glass painting depicts daily life in Senegal.
