HERITAGE, Carte blanche à Omar Victor Diop

From March 6th to May 8th 2021 André Magnin hands Omar Victor Diop the reins of the gallery for an exhibition dedicated to the great African portraitists.

Heir from the African photography studio - whose codes are sometimes reinvested in his self-portrait - Omar Victor Diop selected for this Carte Blanche about fifty pictures from the photographers who influenced him. Mama Casset, Seydou Keiïta, Malick Sidibé, J.D.'Okhai Ojeikere, Jean Depara and Ambroise Ngaimoko (Studio 3Z/3C) encounter Omar Victor Diop’s dreamlike and colorful images. Through this journey made with historical pictures, the exhibition "HERITAGE" weaves the links between Omar Victor Diop's work and his artistic legacy.
