Caroline Gueye is special: because she makes the big difference between heaven and earth. She has a bit of a starry mind and especially inspired brushes. Why am I telling you this? (Rebroadcast 07/29/2018).
Because this mixed-race princess (Franco-Togolo-Senegalese) is an engineer in atmospheric physics. It’s his side, head in the stars. But she is also a visual artist. It’s her little girl side of the African Picasso (connoisseurs know that I’m talking about the Togolese painter Paul Ahyi). A little as if the artistic genome circulated in the brushes of Caroline Gueye which exhibits its strange universe all over the world, from New York to Nouakchott via the last Dakar Biennale with, in its nets, a lot of current topics: the kidnapping of young Nigerian girls by Boko Haram, Fukushima, the succession of Mandela, or even SOS PODPA organized looting of African fish: an exhibition set up recently in Gorée, where, little mermaid, she was already plunging into the depths of ourselves.
