Abderrahmane OUARDANE § Artist § Born in Casablanca, Morocco. § Graduated from the THUR Beaux-Art Workshop - Paris. § Exhibits regularly since 1970. § Lives and works in Casablanca. 2
PREAMBLE Graduated from Beaux Art Workshops in Paris in the 70s, Abderrahmane OUARDANE learned to draw the human body. He devoted his first exhibitions to the theme of artistic Nude. His spiritual retreats in the High Atlas, on the high plateaus of Imilchil, represented a decisive step in his artistic imprint. The timeless silhouettes he encountered there; all the treasures of signs and traces of Amazigh heritage inspired him, awaken his memory, influenced his creations and gave birth to his transcendent claw. His gatherings with Casablanca school artistic academy and his participation to international residences allowed him to mature in extremely rich and varied creative experiences. His career led him to Contemporary Art. His creations has diversified between paintings, sculptures, installations and performances. His message is devoted to his activism for the cause of women right and for the enhancement of intangible heritage. "I can no longer paint for purely aesthetic purposes. It is important for me to let my imagination go free and to give meaning to creations and performances that bring to the work a worldwide testimony" says OUARDANE. 3
IFRI - DEA AFRICA Dea Africa means African goddess - Ifri symbolizes the sun goddess, protector of the source and family. OUARDANE materializes his unspeakable emotion through the sketch of mystical woman. Dressed in her drapery, adorned with her prodigy turban, the goddess overlooks a landlocked universe sometimes of mist, sometimes of light. The goddess with a timeless body wanders through a sublime landscape where water and fire, heaven and earth form a fertile alloy. For the painter, the heroine becomes a language, that of an essential energy that passes through the ages. Through the esoteric expression of the character, the painter reconnects with his roots and sanctifies its symbol. 5
WOMEN FROM IMILCHIL OUARDANE materializes his fascination for Imilchil's wife through the sketch of her figure. Dressed in her drapery, adorned with her prodigy turban, the stroller overlooks a dreamlike universe. 6
TRIPLETS FROM CASABLANCA Casablanca is the trendy urban destination. The economic capital of Morocco is the North African hub of major international brands. An urban and trendy living environment that defines a lifestyle fantasized by many young women from the countryside and mountains of the kingdom. But how can traditional women dream of themselves as a modern woman without weaving a safeguard net that combines her timelessness between past, present and future? 7
ORACLE OF THE SAINT The prophetess of the Atlas Mountains, with divinatory foresight, announces the oracle of the degeneration of the world of men. The prophecy of anomaly, destruction, materialism and loss of harmony. 8
«Révélation du Sage», Mixte sur Toile 110 x 100 SACRIFICES OF NOMADS The ancient Berbers worshipped the moon and the sun, to which they offered sacrifices: "The sacrifices of the nomads." These are ancestral beliefs and customs that were intended to ward off fate. Like a language between humans and spirits. The Berbers remain attached to certain deep- seated traditions. The “chibanis” (the elders) still speak of the "old way of the ancestors" and still retain certain ancestral rites. 9
TRACES OF AL- ANDALUS Splendor and nostalgia of Al-Andalus. Al-Andalus, a region of Spain that was under the sovereignty of the Moors from the 8th to the 15th century. During these centuries of history, all the communities of the three denominations coexisted side by side and gave birth to a culture of coexistence, "the convivencia" which finds one of its most beautiful expressions in Arabic, Hebrew and Romance literature. In Al-Andalus, freedom of thought, freedom of expression, integrity and intellectual creativity are three essential characteristics of Al-Andalus's original intellectual creation. Scientists were philosophers, mathematicians, doctors and practitioners, theologians, judges and politicians. A bygone era when society was very developed compared to the rest of the world. 10
CONTEMPORARY IMPERIALS Women from Morocco, between past, present and future. Today, the traditional Moroccan woman has given way to a modern woman who tries to combine the fundamentals of her traditions with her modernity. Recently, Moroccan women began to create their space of freedom in order to fight for their hard-to-obtain rights in a traditionally patriarchal society. These contemporary imperials are gaining ground through their struggle, gradually enjoying their rights and have high hopes for the future. But is this acquired freedom valid for all the women of the kingdom? How does today's Moroccan woman consider herself? how does she see herself in her diversity? What about the real living conditions of Moroccan women, their wishes, their hopes, their projects? It is important to note that despite all the progress that has been made in the condition of Moroccan women, this growth is still ambiguous, because to date not all Moroccan women have taken possession of all their rights and this specifically in rural areas. 11
«Vol Plané», Mixte sur Toile 130 x 130 FINAL BOARDING Imilchil is a Berber village in northern Morocco where a mythical tradi6on is held every year: the Moussem Imilchil, an engagement fes6val. This tradi6onal fes6val of love, originally reserved for the indigenous inhabitants of the surrounding villages and peaks of the Atlas, today resembles a large folk fair. Now this gathering is a vic6m of mass tourism and the "folkloriza6on" of intangible heritage. The work "Final Boarding" illustrates the abbreviated sketch of an ancient muse goddess, my tradi6onal "Chelha of Imilchil", means "Berber of Imilchil". But in her contemporary version, The Authen6c Amazon is reincarnated as a new age heroine. Under her new esoteric features, she seems devastated. Her new universe is constellated, but in reality, she has lost all the depth of her original beauty. Pressed to modernize without a safeguard nor of her orality, nor of her iden6ty, nor of her legend. The muse took off not back. From her genesis to her contemporaneity: final des6na6on – "Final Boarding". « Confiserie Vagabonde », «Mèche Rebelle», Mixte sur Toile 120 x 100 Mixte sur Toile 110 x 100
THE TATTOOED STONE The originality of the rock bes6ary represented evokes the early mastery of pictorial techniques and the crea6vity of the figura6ons of the rock areas discovered in three dis6nct geographical and bioclima6c domains, in the Atlas Ranges, the Sahara Meadow and the Moroccan Atlan6c Sahara. Despite research on rock art in Morocco, the Moroccan Atlan6c Sahara and Mauritania, the problems related to its classifica6on and its rela6onship to its cultural context are not iden6fied in an intact way. In the current state of knowledge, this area is characterized by the con6nuous succession, from north to south, of large rock areas, relayed by small sta6ons. These areas have experienced many tradi6ons of parietal art crea6on. This implies that some sites contain engravings or pain6ngs from a wide variety of periods. This fact is noted in the overlay of drawings belonging to different categories of rock art. The importance of this rock art as an archaeological and historical source is considerable. It will certainly contribute to the reconstruc6on of prehistoric history and its sePlement. 13
FIRE DROP ON BLUE WAVE Over time, urbanization spreads, contributes to the degradation of nature and threatens all forms of life on earth. This work denounces the pollution of the Earth and the Oceans by humans, it particularly blames, the polluting industries that release into the environment tons of toxic products and waste, as well as the massive urbanization that replaces green spaces and makes our cities gray and ugly. The seasons are no longer distinguishable. We live in an overrated and artificial world. « Goutte de Feu » 14 Mixte sur Toile 110 x 100
BAL MUSETTES The contemporary world is damaged by materialism at the expense of noble values related to the spirit. Yet it is these spiritual values that give true meaning to our existence. The sacred is at the heart of creation. The aesthetic experience finds its true essence in the interiority. The work of art must be transcendent and incorruptible. 15
STARDUST As recent research on the genealogy of matter that composes us shows, we are alive and the entire solar system, 97% of our billions of billions of atoms would come from the cosmos. We are therefore made up of atoms forged through various cosmic events that have marked the 13.8 billion years of history of the universe. We are made up of "stardust." 16
