Libasse Ka

A spectacular debut monograph by artist Libasse Ka (°1998; Senegal), including a selection of his most recent work.

In his first monograph; Libasse Ka brings together a selection of his recent work. In it he continues his exploration of the essence of painting and examines the boundaries of his own creative process.

Ka approaches painting as an ongoing process of layered transformation. His works emerge through the reworking of forms; the introduction of pauses; and the continuous reformulation of ideas. He frequently returns to older or unfinished canvases; which he reactivates to address unresolved questions or to give new direction to incomplete passages.

His compositions are driven by a lively rhythm; in which colour plays a prominent and propelling role.

This publication appears on the occasion of his solo exhibition at Carlos Ishikawa Gallery in London. His first institutional exhibition at Museum Dhondt-Dhaenens in the Autumn of 2025 received international attention and acclaim.
