Rendez-vous au soleil, éd. 4/8
Yankhoba Diallo "Jacob Yacouba" Senegalese
Not on view
Jacob Yacouba, a key figure in Senegal’s art scene, created Rendez-vous au Soleil as part of his exploration of love, identity, and the complexity of human relationships. This tapestry, depicting the fragmentation of a lovers' quarrel, uses a horizontal format—unusual for tapestries from Thiès—to enhance its narrative flow. Known for his portrayal of women, particularly the Signares of Saint-Louis, Yacouba’s work captures both sensuality and tension. Rendez-vous au Soleil exemplifies his ability to convey deep emotional and cultural themes through abstract forms, and has been showcased in major public venues in Europe and the United States.
