One Of Its Most Striking Manifestations Is A Kind Of 'Popular' Painting... That Finds Its Sources In Advertising Signs... Cheik Ledy [Has] Contributed Importantly To Staking Out [His] Individual Style Within This Tendency, And In His Own Way,... Has Managed To Divert It From Its Initial Commercial Function, Raising It To The Level Of An Original Artistic Practice. From The Very Beginning, The Principal Sources Of Its Content Have Been Religion, Political Life, And The Life Of Urban Society. The Paintings Were To Be Exhibited At Every Street Corner To Provoke Or Entertain Passers By.'' (Jacques Soulillou In Andre Magnin & Jacques Soulillou, Eds., Contemporary Art Of Africa, New York 1996, P. 121). —
