BEN ISMAIL AHMED
Marrakech
AHMED BEN ISMAEL Born in 1995 at Marrakesh, Ahmed Ben Ismael is a painter and photographer. He realizes several literary and artistic book covers and posters for cultural and artistic events. He works also a journalist for several national and international newspapers His first exhibition, Contes soufis, dates back to 1990 at L’Atelier Gallery in Rabat then the French Institute of Marrakesh Since 1994, the artist exhibits his pictural and photographic artwork everywhere in Morocco and abroad. He lives and works in Marrakesh. From painting to photography, we found in Ben Ismael a particular climat for a diversity of expressions. Obviously by his forms, his cercles more or less undecided, his angles, his squares, his arrows, populating the canvas, he evokes the world of magic, talismanic scripture, fragmentary, spread to assure the illegibility of his mystery. This world has its colors, those found dominant in Ben Ismael’s painting, namely red and green. Otherwise, the artist use vegetal tinctures, those used by the weavers. Colors witch emblematic shades reflects a living reality, the writing of a given soul.
