About The Artwork

Recycling for me is neither an ecological nor a political option, it is rooted in me. It brings me a primitive relation to matter. Matter, more than the object, has a history of its own, to woo it in order to obtain the best is a sensation felt only by the manual workers. Of fairly imposing and very sporty body (former weightlifter), in my artistic career, I quickly opted for a subject with which I would have to fight a fight. The tire is subjugating: imperishable, handy, resistant and "alive". I like to learn how to handle, braid and assemble. The tire, indispensable accessory to our means of locomotion (car, bike, ....) of agricultural production (tractor, lawnmower, ...), our leisure (quad, motorcycle,). Sports car, vintage car, armament, the tire is useful, creator of industrial employment (creation / destruction). But what ugly little duck waste, hardly recyclable outside the industry, it is the unloved. That is what motivates me, this matter that everybody wants to forget when it leaves our wheels I try to magnify it. What joy, even enjoyment, when someone approaches one of my pieces, the touch discreetly or asks me "I can touch? And his astonishment: "are they real tires?" Self-taught, I create without plan to instinct. I settle in my workshop, I turn on the music and enter into communion with the subjects. I cut, I saw, I assemble, and everything is assembled, fits together, see the day the premises of a sculpture, an object, a piece of furniture ....

Senegalese designer, I worked for four years on the "gum" and especially used tires (car, bike, scooter, truck, ....). I try through my research and my creations to give the pedigree had the tire to its creation (1888 first patent). With them, I created a universe that is mine and I want to share. I sculpture, and cut and braid this material to give it some sweetness, until we have wanted to touch .... statuettes to monumental sculptures, through the wall carvings and furniture , I have fun!!!! and asks those who come to discover my work ..... The museum design vitra Weill am Rhein has selected two of my creations to be part of their permanent collection, allowing me to participate in the exhibition "Making Africa" organized home since March 13, and will travel to the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao at the end of the year. It is this selection that I decided to come to Europe in order to present my work and facilitate professional meetings.
