Omar Ba | Same Dream | Contemporary Calgary

Hales is excited to announce the opening of Same Dreama solo exhibition by Omar Ba on view at Contemporary Calgary until 31 January 2021.

Same Dream
 brings together several of Ba’s paintings depicting dictators and authority figures, who lead corrupt and violent regimes across the African continent and in other parts of the world, particularly where the legacies of colonialism persist. At times represented as hybrid beasts—part human, part animal— these despotic warlords are typically enveloped in an abundance of lush flora and fauna. Indeed, nature becomes a recurring force across Ba’s oeuvre.
