Alioune Diagne

Born in 1985 in Kaffrine, Senegal, Alioune Diagne lives and works in Senegal and France. After studying at the Dakar École des Beaux-Arts in 2008, Alioune Diagne developed an imaginary script as a universal language and intimate account of fragments of his life in Dakar and on his travels. A socially engaged artist, he opens the door to a deep-seated exploration of the major challenges facing the world today: ecology, the place of women in society, racism and the notions of transmission and heritage. His work has featured in a variety of solo and group exhibitions in Europe, Africa and Asia, including representing his country on the Senegalese pavilion at the 60th Venice Biennale, Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rouen (Ndox-Glint), Dakar Biennale, and Art Basel. He has been represented by Galerie Templon since 2022.
