Mouad Aboulhana . . .and my moroccan art collection

Well, the term “collection” is possibly a slight exaggeration, but it is something I aspire to, and with this in mind I decided to make a start.
These three prints by Mouad are in fact that start – I received them minutes before I left on my last visit to Tangier at a hastily arranged coffee shop assignation – all very exciting, involving numerous messages, messengers and motorbikes!!
They are now sitting unfurled and unframed on my office table.
The iconic moroccan babouche with a typical textile design in the background.These prints are full of references that I relate to.

So a little more about the artist: Mouad Aboulhana

How would you describe your style?
My style is pure Moroccan Pop art and when we say Morocco, it is in fact a large melting-pot of cultures and traditions, from the Berber, the Arabs to Islam and international modernity.
So, you can say that my style is a mix of all these beautiful influences.
What are the techniques you use?
For me, techniques always evolve as your art matures! From graphic art using different inks on paper, to street art and painting on the walls of Medina of Tangier (North of Morocco), using stencils and spray paint. It is only three years ago that I started experimenting with digital art by mixing illustrations and images.

One of the images he is most known for is his “Tarbouch Kid”

Tell us about the “Tarbouch Kid” artwork? What does it represent?
Tarbouch Kid is a symbol for pure Berber-Arab-Muslim personality. This kid represents me in so many ways, he represents the community. Sometimes people ask “Why he is sad?” but in reality he is not sad at all; maybe he is shy, or simply tired because life in our society is hard. Also, kids are never two-faced, they always say the truth! Technically, the character was taken from a smart perspective and angle: his clothes are simple with his red Fez Cap and in the background, a Zellige mosaic.

  And finally one of my favourite images.
Remaining true to my South African roots I think this will have to be added to my gallery soon . . .

This is a little note of appreciation to the artists who, come rain and shine, share their creativity with all who pass by in the medina - and it is also a little request to all those who pass through...when possible take the time to appreciate, engage and maybe even buy a work of art to slip inside your suitcase and remind you of your travels. It will be appreciated - and will also be more helpful than being simply another image on our collective instagram feeds!!! And yes...that painting by Mustapha is now on my wall #artistsofassilah #artistsofmorocco #shoplocal

It's Friday - so appropriately ending a week of food posts with a fabulous bowl of couscous.  As the guidebooks always say, the best moroccan food can usually be found in the home and today's offering is straight from the kitchen of Jumila - who also cooks on request for guests staying in @dar_ambrosia
