ーーーーーーーーー
BETWEEN SOUND AND FLESH
音と肉体の間
言語が生まれる以前の場所へ。音が皮膚に触れ、肉体の奥へと沈んでいく、その瞬間へ。
音は水のように動く。
耳から入り、骨へと溶け込み、
内と外の境界線をゆっくりと消していく。
飛び込んだ瞬間を、覚えていますか？
音がどう変わるか。重力がどうずれていくか。自分が何か別のものになっていくか。
Ousmane Bâの作品の中の人物たちのように——
落ちることと昇ることの間に宙吊りになりながら——
私たちもまた、降りていく。音の中へ。静寂の中へ。
息を止めなくていい。
ただ、手放すだけでいい。
光が溶けていく場所へ。
沈黙が語り始める場所へ。
夢の中へ。恐れの中へ。記憶の中へ。
傍らに立つのは、何百年もの時間を生きてきた五葉松。
根は大地の記憶を、幹は風の痕跡を刻んでいる。
音もまた、そのように——身体の奥深くへ、静かに年輪を重ねていく。
彼が描く人物たちは、ふたつの状態、ふたつの現実の間に漂っている。
サウンドバスの中で、私たちは同じ「あいだ」に自分を見出す——
降りることが、すでに昇ることであるような場所に。
HIKO・KONAMIの音が、あなたをそこへ連れていく。
表面から離れ。その先にあるものへ向かって。
これはパフォーマンスではない。
これは、通過儀礼だ。
そして今夜、あなたは何か違うものを携えて、ここへ戻ってくる。
違うエネルギーを。違うビジョンを。

Ousmane Bâ
日本を拠点に活動するフランス・ギニア・セネガルにルーツを持つアーティスト。彼の作品は文化的境界を越え、解放と超越のための空間を創り出している。独学で芸術を学び、ストラスブールで育った背景の中で視覚表現を培い、映像・音響コラボレーションを通じて独自の美学を形成。その後、2013年から2017年にかけてグラフィックデザイナーとして活動しながら自身の表現を磨いた。
2018年に来日、日本の伝統絵画技法である「日本画」と出会い、それが現在の独自のビジュアルランゲージの基盤となっている。和紙の上に描かれるドローイング、ペインティング、コラージュを通じて、Baは人体を精神的かつ美的な媒介として扱い、重力や社会的偏見から解き放たれた存在として、夢幻的な空間の中に浮遊させる。Baは、2022年のDakar Biennale において、Galerie Atiss で発表したシリーズ ＜Interweaving Entrelacement） によって国際的な注目を集めた。その後も、AKAA Paris、Art x Lagos、 1:54 New York をはじめ、ジュネーブや南アフリカのギャラリーで作品を発表している。

Two days ago, I was exhibiting at the Shiogama Sugimura Jun Museum of Art a museum itself in reconstruction, carried by the de Sendai. There was nothing coincidental about this place, or this moment.
This fisherman surfaces with what he pulled from the depths.
This fish is not just a catch.
It is a sign.
It carries fortune, abundance
but also what remains hidden, invisible, beneath.
In Shiogama, the sea and the land once shifted.
The world moved.
But this scene could exist anywhere.
On the shores of Senegal, fishermen enter the water the same way facing the same uncertainty, in dialogue with what cannot be seen.
This work is not about the moment of chaos.
It is about what comes after.
Rebuilding. Recovering stillness. Finding balance again.
The fisherman is not only bringing up a fish.
He is bringing up a possibility.
What do you think he found?

One day, at the immigration office, I had a thought.
Everyone in that room was a potential dreamer.
Behind every file, there was a dream, an ambition, an invisible force.
This piece is about that power.
The power of those who carry a vision strong enough to transform their reality.
It was born from that energy.
From that silent strength.
From dreams that refuse to fall.
«Bodies are, for me, spiritual, aesthetic, and physical vectors. They are merely objects that make up my spaces of freedom.» — Ousmane Bâ
For him, the body becomes a site of transformation, carrying memory, emotion, migration, and becoming. It is through the body that layered identities take form and find movement.
Full episode coming soon.

Afrikoyo-e emerges from my Guinean, Senegalese roots, carrying the spiritual memory of West Africa, while engaging in dialogue with my Japanese influences. Between memory, movement, and antigravity.
The exhibition exceeded expectations.
The response was strong.
The conversations were sharp, engaged, alive.
Brussels showed up.
Collectors showed up.
Energy showed up.
The show found its audience.
The impact was real.
Special thanks to and for their precision, commitment, and the care invested in elevating this exhibition.
And thank you to everyone who came, supported, acquired, and engaged with the work.
Afrikoyo-e continues its expansion.

The Phenomenal Artist
A quiet collision of places, memories, and forms.
A Franco-Senegalese artist based in Tokyo.
Tomorrow opens Afrikoyo e: The Floating Worlds of Ousmane Bâ — a poetic and political journey between a dreamed Africa and an ancient Japan.
Vernissage: tomorrow from 6pm

15.01 — Gallery 41, Brussels
“The Floating Worlds of Ousmane Bâ”
Opening: 15.01, 6:30PM–9:30PM
Rue Ernest Allard 41, 1000 Brussels
Gallery 41 is pleased to present Afrikoyo e – The Floating Worlds of Ousmane Bâ, opening this week in Brussels.
This exhibition marks a new chapter in Ousmane’s practice: a living archive shaped by years spent in Japan and born from the encounter between a dreamed Africa and an ancient Japan—two worlds whose resonances he reveals with rare sensitivity.
For this new body of work, Ousmane Bâ composes collages on traditional washi paper, where bodies, memories, and symbols drift freely, creating aesthetic solidarities between East and South. Hybrid silhouettes, ritual motifs, and textured raw materials converge to form poetic and political portals, rethinking art histories, inherited narratives, and layered identities.
“I liberate the body. The present becomes myth.”
More than a title, Afrikoyo e is a cartography—bridging Dakar and Kyoto, Saint-Louis and Tokyo. Both intimate and universal, it speaks to diasporas, collectors, and artists seeking new visual languages.
The exhibition will be on view from 15 January.
