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
