In Interrogation du Masque, Tamsir Gueye explores the spiritual and sculptural qualities of African masks through stylized abstraction. Simplified and mirrored facial features evoke the mysticism of traditional masks, while friezes of decorative lines subtly reference ancient Egyptian art. Created during a period of growing Afrocentric awareness, this tapestry reflects Gueye’s engagement with Cheikh Anta Diop's theories connecting African and Egyptian cultures. Its rare and intricate execution highlights Gueye’s ability to blend African traditions with modern artistic forms, offering a profound commentary on identity and cultural heritage.
