Efie Gallery presents Malian artist Abdoulaye Konaté with a solo exhibition titled Sambadio from October 10, 2024 until January 6, 2025. The exhibition showcases a monumental 9-meter work inspired by “Sambadio,” the final track of Malian musician Ali Farka Touré’s 1976 album Le Jeune Chansonnier du Mali. The song, celebrating farmers, reflects a father’s plea for his son to honour the earth. Konaté’s latest works echo this sentiment, exploring themes of Bedouin culture and the deep connection between West African and Middle Eastern traditions. The Sambadio exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue featuring essays by notable writers Simon Njami, Ousseynou Wade, and Professor Yacouba Konaté. Born in Mali in 1953, Konaté is renowned for his large-scale textile installations made from woven and dyed fabrics native to his homeland. His works, both abstract and figurative, address aesthetic, socio-political, and environmental issues. Drawing on the West African tradition of using textiles as a form of communication, Konaté masterfully balances global concerns with personal references to his life and country. |

<a href="Abdoulaye Konaté practiced every contemporary art form, from painting to installation, before finding the visual language that best suited the vision of the world which he wanted to share. His artistic practice has given him the freedom to distil his past experiences into a form that brings these different worlds together. His textile paintings, which draw on an ancestral technique, prove the contemporaneity of all techniques once they are translated into a universal language. In our contemporary society, where artificial intelligence and other technological gadgets seem poised to replace know-how, Konaté goes resolutely against the tides of fashion and so-called modernity and continues to show the world that human hands remain the most reliable instruments.">Abdoulaye Konaté practiced every contemporary art form, from painting to installation, before finding the visual language that best suited the vision of the world which he wanted to share.
