Presentation
Ben Ali is a painter from the south of Morocco, an Art Brut committed artist working with second hand gathered objects. His work is filled with great poetry. A former fisherman, Ben Ali started creating art when his rowboat wrecked in the sea. Upon marine cloth or domestic objects that the artists uses, we can see strange characters and animals intermingling among bright and contrasted colors. A painter who's starting to meet a well-deserved success.
Ben Ali or the awaken eye (excerpt)
Ben Ali's painting
Is different from any other
A true poetic universe
For the poet
Who dive into it
And find themselves at home
And for the true amateurs
Those who choose
Not a piece of work with the books of values
Or in embassy balls
But with their eyes
And their heart
As unique passport.
Ben Ali's world
Is a human comedy
Joyful and alive
Sensual, anchored in the real
That we recognize
And with delight and greed
Forever make ours
