For the return of the 1-54 fair in Marrakech, we are delighted to exhibit the works of five artists. Complementary in their artistic research and their personal paths, they transmit their vision of the world and their personal history, between Marrakech, Dakar, Abidjan, Madagascar or Paris.
Mariam Abouzid Souali is a painter based in Marrakech. Her works plunge us into the world of play and childhood, but her figures evolve in strange landscapes: highway interchanges, mining fields, industrial ports...
Aboudia draws from the aesthetics of graffiti on the walls of Abidjan, especially the working-class neighborhoods of Abobo, Yopougon or Treichville, to bring a testimony of the daily life in the economic and cultural capital of Côte d'Ivoire.
Elladj Lincy Deloumeaux plunges us into a pictorial narrative where the anecdotes of a personal history and the chronicles of a plural world are intertwined. Her universe of often melancholic portraits takes us to the border of the real and the dreamed, somewhere between the Caribbean, West Africa and Europe.
Through her research in painting, drawing, textiles and ceramics, Rachel Marsil addresses notions of identity and representation. By questioning her own history, she plunges us into an intimate and colorful universe.
Born in Niger, Yo-Yo Gonthier grew up on Reunion Island. As a visual photographer, he questions the erasure of memory between the Western world and the African space. He is interested in the reminiscence of a colonial culture in France and particularly in in the Overseas Territories.
