Rayon Fossile II

Abdelkader Benchamma

Over the years, Abdelkader Benchamma has built a body of work that focuses on drawing. His artistic practice has evolved throughout his career, absorbing references from classical drawing, scientific modeling, comics, Japanese prints and literature. That said, Benchamma´s drawings are not only delicate and highly sophisticated technical creations, but they also contain a deep reflection on the states of matter and the relationship of humans with the physical and metaphysical environment. The aesthetic evolution of his compositions goes hand in hand with the contents he explores and thus a transformation that goes from the figurative to the abstract and from the individual to the cosmic, can be seen. Benchamma proposes an expanded drawing that overflows the boundaries of the paper to occupy the exhibition space, creating a new dimension that surrounds the viewer.
