Mamadou Fall Dabo (1951- ) has exhibited widely and even spent time as an artist in residence in Maryland. He lives in Senegal and graduated from the Beaux Arts Institute. Dabo uses oils and gouache to paint ideas spurred by his social conscience, sacred forests and the spiritual world. Both his paintings here deal with the latter. Together We Shall Go to Heaven gives one an uplifting feeling as two people holding hands are beckoned by another figure while two groups of people wait in the clouds. The way the paint has been applied lends a mysterious feeling to the composition. In Accueil (The Reception) we see the textured orange red canvas dominated by the suggestion of a large ethereal figure in the background while groups of people convene, as if awaiting a prophecy.
