{"title":"Ali Maimoun","description":"\u003cp\u003eTribal, magical, dreamlike, steeped in African and Amazigh accents and ritual trance: Ali Maimoun’s art shows the whole world at once, physical and spiritual, with the frontality of an apparition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCareer\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn in 1956 at Archague, in the Ouarzazate region, Ali Maimoun was a mason by trade. His creative vocation first found its outlet in stone carving, then in thuya roots, from which he drew animal and human figures. He then turned to painting, taking his themes from daily life and mingling them with figures from African mythologies. He belongs to the singular artists of Essaouira, collected notably by Cérès Franco.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe totality of the world\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the writer Catherine Conil observed, Maimoun does not suggest an imaginary elsewhere: he shows, without hierarchy or apparent order, the invisible bonds that unite animal and human nature with sky and earth. There is no escape route, no vanishing point, and no need for one, since everything is there, free of tragic duality: a familiar strangeness in which one may even put on the devil’s clothes in order to live peacefully alongside him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLandmarks\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone carving, then sculpture in thuya roots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePainting of daily life and African mythologies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCérès Franco Collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDo you own a work by Ali Maimoun?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe gallery can examine it: \u003ca href=\"\/en\/pages\/estimation\"\u003erequest a valuation\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/en\/pages\/revente\"\u003econsign it for sale\u003c\/a\u003e at ARTWORKS in Casablanca.
