The exhibition, which runs from October 30 to November 30, is being held at the Galerie Delacroix in Tangier and marks the cultural and artistic return of the French Institute. The exhibition brings together two unique universes that dialogue around the same notion of sweetness. The two artists, Safaa Erruas and Ghislaine Portalis, will showcase their works, exploring the concept of sweetness and its various interpretations.
For Safaa Erruas, sweetness and virginity are essential in conquering a world of otherness that can easily slip away. Her work is an attempt to push the limits of human experience. In contrast, Ghislaine Portalis sees sweetness as a lure, a necessary germ of cruelty. Her work reflects on language and image, exploring the tensions between the intimate and the social, the body and space.
Safaa Erruas' work has evolved significantly since her experience during the confinement period. She now emphasizes the importance of the concept of travel, both mental and physical, in her art. Her works are constantly being reconstructed, and she sees her art as a cartographic territory that represents the human experience and its relationship with geographical spaces.
Ghislaine Portalis' work, on the other hand, makes the notion of genre more explicit. Her art explores the concept of sweetness as an unsettling experience where all references are lost. She sees sweetness at the heart of what destroys, accompanied by a sense of irreversible loss. Her works often feature a story, a scenario, or a narrative of cruelty that is both invisible and disturbing.
The exhibition "Accords and Dissonances, They Exhibit" is a unique opportunity for art lovers to experience the works of two talented artists who offer different perspectives on the concept of sweetness. The exhibition is a reflection of the French Institute's commitment to promoting cultural and artistic exchange between Morocco and France.
The exhibition has generated significant interest among art enthusiasts and critics, who see it as a significant contribution to the contemporary art scene in Morocco. The exhibition's curator, Najat Faïssal, has expressed her enthusiasm for the project, highlighting the unique dialogue between the two artists and their works.
The exhibition "Accords and Dissonances, They Exhibit" will run until November 30 at the Galerie Delacroix in Tangier. Art lovers are invited to experience the works of Safaa Erruas and Ghislaine Portalis and explore the various interpretations of sweetness in their art.
