The objects return to their material plenitude and are project into a renewed imaginary Cheikh Ndiaye’s world constantly reflects the origin of his research, the street. The painted views create openings and seem to traverse the opaque, dense and imposing exposed concrete wall. The everyday objects echo a tangible and established reality. However, the arrangements seem to veer from diverse spheres towards distant spaces and shifting times. The order of things through visible or concealed forms constantly reinvents itself to its limits. The unity of Cheikh Ndiaye’s work stems from the way he uses matter, recognizing its plurality.
