Saadio: The Full Catalogue of His Works at the Gallery

Saadio has 30 works listed at Ge'eza's gallery in Point E: 20 canvases and 10 works on kraft paper framed under glass, all made in mixed media, acrylic and Posca, in 2025. "Le Voyageur" is marked sold; the other 29 remain available, price given on request from each work's page on the gallery.

The count by medium

Of the 30 works online, 20 are on canvas and 10 are on kraft paper framed under glass, all 10 sharing the same size, 60 x 50 cm. Kraft paper, more fragile than canvas, is always framed under glass at the gallery.

The canvases, by size

The 20 canvases come in six sizes. One painting, "Ailleurs," measures 120 x 120 cm. Seven paintings measure 150 x 100 cm: "Accueil chaleureux," "Casamance," "Arrêt taxi 2," "Joyeux bleus," "Dialogue des fresques," "La vie en bleu" and "Corniche Ouest." Two paintings measure 150 x 150 cm: "Embouteillage" and "Motif de wax." Six paintings measure 100 x 100 cm: "Le berger," "Captivité," "Duo," "Marché hebdomadaire," "Arrêt taxi 1" and "Afro." Two paintings measure 100 x 150 cm: "Carnaval" and "Scène de rue." Two paintings, finally, measure 80 x 60 cm: "Cavalier seul" and "Le proverbe peul."

The works on kraft paper, framed under glass

The 10 works on kraft paper, all sized 60 x 50 cm and framed under glass, are: "Le Voyageur" (sold), "Le dompteur 1," "Le dompteur 2," "Le défi," "Tik Tok," "Ma moto," "Petit oiseau," "Amulette," "La danse du lion (Simb)" and "Le défi 2."

A single year across the whole catalogue

Unlike the catalogues of Ibou Diagne or Tampidaro, which span several years, all 30 of Saadio's works currently online are dated 2025. No earlier work appears in this catalogue at the time of writing, which makes it a chronologically uniform body of work, whatever the medium or size chosen.

Only one work sold

Of the 30 works in the catalogue, only one is marked sold: "Le Voyageur," mixed media on kraft paper, 60 x 50 cm, framed under glass. Its page remains online at /en/gallery/saadio-2025-figures, which keeps its earlier address. The other 29 works, canvases and kraft papers alike, are all available at the time of writing.

The numbered titles

Four titles in the catalogue come in pairs of two: "Arrêt taxi 1" and "Arrêt taxi 2," as well as "Le dompteur 1" and "Le dompteur 2," "Le défi" and "Le défi 2." These pairs share a subject named in the title, though not always the same size from one number to the next: "Arrêt taxi 1" measures 100 x 100 cm, while "Arrêt taxi 2" measures 150 x 100 cm. Of the four pairs, three share an identical size, while the "Arrêt taxi" pair does not. Reading both titles of a pair side by side, with their exact sizes, is worth doing before assuming a numbered sequel repeats the first work's dimensions.

Comparing the two mediums

The choice between a canvas and a framed kraft paper work mostly comes down to intended use. A canvas at 150 x 100 cm or 150 x 150 cm needs a fairly open wall, in a living room or a reception space. A framed work on kraft paper, always 60 x 50 cm in this catalogue, suits a tighter space, a hallway, an office, or a wall set aside for several small pieces grouped together. The glass adds weight and calls for careful packing if the piece travels. For a first purchase, comparing a canvas and a framed paper work side by side at the gallery is usually quicker than deciding from photographs, since the texture and the glass itself read differently in person.

Asking for the price of a work in the catalogue

The price of any work, canvas or kraft paper, is given directly from its page on the gallery site, or on WhatsApp at +221 78 660 07 07, naming the exact title. The team replies with the price, the technical details and the certificate of authenticity signed by the artist that travels with every work sold. Payment is by Wave, Orange Money, card or in person, and the work is then collected at Point E or shipped out of Dakar on request for a quote.

Seeing the catalogue at the gallery

The artist's full page is on the artists page. The guide Saadio, Senegalese Artist looks at his graphic style and the two mediums he works in. The gallery can be visited without an appointment, Tuesday to Sunday, 8am to 10pm, at 656 avenue Birago Diop, Point E, during the same hours as the restaurant. The canvas Ailleurs is a useful starting point for a first visit, one of the few square formats in the catalogue.
