Iba
Ndiaye regards drawing and painting as thoroughly modern artistic tools. This
attachment to his "craft" means that he often disagrees with those (artists
and art critics) who consider it an anachronistic form of expression. A painter
of African origin, Iba Ndiaye prefers to distance himself from the fashionable
trends he deems responsible for the confusion currently dominating the art world.

President, and Mr. Abdou Fall, Senegalese Minister of Culture and
Communications, opened the IBA NDIAYE exhibition at the Dakar National Art
Gallery. On display were sixty of the artist's works, most of which were
executed over the past several years. The Senegalese press and television
gave the show an enthusiastic reception, qualifying it as a "national
event".
