Ocre et bleu au Kente (2 triangles)

2020

Abdoulaye Konaté's *Ocre et bleu au Kente (2 triangles)* (2020) is a striking textile composition that showcases the Mali-born artist's masterful use of traditional West African woven fabrics. The work features bold geometric triangular forms rendered in rich ochre and deep blue tones, drawing on the visual language of Kente cloth traditions while conveying themes of cultural identity and harmony. Konaté's signature approach transforms fabric into a powerful medium for social and political dialogue, elevating craft to the realm of contemporary fine art.
