Larbi Zaïdi  

Self-taught artist-painter, he lives and works in Laon in the Aisne. Attracted very young by painting, he devotes all his free moments to his art. Student in Art Therapy - René Descartes University in Paris V -, Larbi Zaïdi has set up several workshops for pictorial expression, intended for disabled children. Selected to appear on the “Artension des Singuliers” cd-rom, this artist has participated in several group exhibitions. Among the most important are: an exhibition organized by the Peronne Psychiatric Hospital as part of a colloquium on art and madness, an exhibition at the Cirque d'Hiver and another at the Salon d'Automne de la Grande Motte. . Since June 2007, the auction of one of his works under the hammer of Master Francis FAURE at the auction house of Rambouillet, allows him to be referenced Artprice. Larbi Zaïdi exhibits permanently at Carré d'Artistes. "The spontaneist and singular dimension of Larbi Zaïdi's painting brings us back to the dissent of our lives. When notations - sometimes indecipherable - mingle with the painting to express the feeling, we dream of childhood drawings But the well-established characters who assert themselves under the black line, reflect a difficulty of being that is not a recreation. Larbi Zaïdi's painting is in fact a “re-creation”, that of a world in latency which moves. Kandinsky wrote: “The artist who in his life resembles children, can achieve the internal harmony of things more easily than others.” It is a feeling which applies in all points to Larbi Zaïdi. "
