In the video "Ngoye – Interview and Artistic Practice," Ivorian artist Ngoye offers insight into his works, which explore the tension between external appearance and internal state. The mask plays a central role, both as a symbol of tradition and as a metaphor for hidden identity.
Ngoye's neo-expressionist works are characterized by vibrant, abstract compositions that invite the viewer to deeply engage with the emotions portrayed.
His 2023 exhibition, "Masquage," showcasing his latest works, presents a strong abstraction where mask forms and backgrounds merge together. Ngoye challenges the viewer to look beyond the surface and uncover the hidden layers of the human psyche. His works provoke deep reflection on identity and perception.
