Bio (pdf)
Press review Le Monde (pdf)
William Sagan is an eternal dreamer of his traditional homeland Africa.
… baobab, boat, camel, cart, crane, cycle, effigy, hut, mask, minaret, pestle, sail, shade, silhouette, totem, tractor, truck … all surfacing from coloured papers like visions from remote memories
… drawings secretly kept in Japanese paper sketchbooks, slowly water coloured with warm pigments, dense and deep, from far away journeys. Keys to his memory, daily life of his imaginary Senegal…
… and always an inimitable signature of little stones put in circles, the various steps of life, the stages of racing…
a galaxy of individual and mixed cultural signs, universal and yet unhesitatingly personal.
