COLLECTION REGINE & MICHEL RENAUDEAU Régine and Michel Renaudeau have been immersed in Senegal's art scene since their arrival in the 60s. Their proximity to artists such as filmmaker Sembène Ousmane nurtured their creativity. Their collection is a testament to the beauty of African cultures, and to the couple's love of Senegal. Works by the Dang, Dogon, Peul and Dan peoples have been chosen with the knowledge of the woman of letters and the meticulous eye of the photographer. The result is a vivid panorama of the continent's great cultures. Alongside this eclectic taste, the Renaudeau collection also includes an important group of Suwer. This art form takes its name from "painting under glass", which spread from Central Europe to the Maghreb in the 18th century, influenced by Turkish and Italian craftsmen. In sub-Saharan Africa, particularly Senegal, the technique has flourished and endures to this day. In 1984, Michel Renaudeau presented one of the first Suwer exhibitions in Dakar, accompanied by a book on the history and themes of the medium. "Suwer" is a Wolof term. Using this technique, Senegalese artists reflect the popular life and concerns of their time. At the end of the 19th century, Suwer first dealt with religious iconography before depicting secular scenes of daily life. Unlike in other regions where printing has supplanted painting under glass, this practice has continued to flourish in Senegal, becoming a unique form of artistic expression. Built up over more than forty years, the Michel and Régine Renaudeau collection contains some of the oldest known Senegalese coasters, including works by masters such as Gora M'Bengue, Babacar Lô, Mor Gueye, Mbida, Djibril Fall Diene, and Fallou Dolly. Some of these pieces are remarkably well preserved and illustrate a great thematic diversity, offering a glimpse into the richness of Senegalese tradition. With its depictions of elegant women (Drianké), bucolic landscapes and scenes of daily life, the Suwer continues to bear witness to Senegal's rich cultural heritage.
