Loft Art Gallery is pleased to end this year with an exhibition dedicated to the work of Malika Agueznay.
A pioneering artist who took part in Moroccan modernity, Malika Agueznay has contributed, alongside the tenors of the Casablanca School, to defining its codes. With them, she has questioned contemporary painting and has focused her work on the study of forms and pure color.
Over the years, she developed her own research around seaweed, a recurring pattern that she explores through different media all along. Accomplished painter, sculptor, and engraver, Malika Agueznay really much care in the balance between volumes, surface, and matter. The frank colors and the repetition give an additional intense vibration the her whole body of work.
Through bas-reliefs as a support, the exhibition will highlight the research carried out by the artist since 1968 on this generic form which has nourished her work since its very beginnings. This form, which we dare to call algae and for which each work represents a fragment of a more complete whole that bears witness to a pictorial system chosen and assumed by the artist.
Through this exhibition, the gallery wishes to pay tribute to the creative power of Malika Agueznay.
