A contemporary art phenomenon, Soly Cissé has emerged in recent years as one of the rising stars of his generation. He lives and works in Dakar, Senegal, where he was born in 1969. In 2010, he was made a Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres.
Galerie des Tuiliers devoted a solo exhibition to him in Lyon in 2013, and in Brussels in 2015.
Soly Cissé's lively works take us into a world of their own, and the titles of his paintings invite us to explore their nuances.
