{"title":"Smail Tirsi","description":"\u003cp\u003eA graduate of the École des Beaux-Arts in Casablanca, Smaïl Tirsi lives and works in Casablanca, in the working-class Ifriquia district. His canvases are peopled with mysterious figures: oval heads, long slender necks, slight female silhouettes, surrounded by a halo of hatching that seems to express an urge to break free. His quick, incisive lines recall the freshness of graffiti, repeated until they become a hieroglyphic language of their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eObjects appear here and there, especially tea glasses, for a play of transparency, fullness and emptiness, and a crimson apple, heavy with symbolism. Greys of every shade, like ash, intensify light and shadow, softened by touches of ochre from his native region south of Taroudant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor Tirsi, art carries an ethical impulse, a search for meaning in the face of chaos. \"Painting,\" he says, \"is a personal inner meditation on life with all its contradictions. Something wants to express itself, and it comes out as faces and bodies.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"smail-tirsi-resonance-2","title":"Pale Face on a Dark Background — Smail Tirsi","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSmail Tirsi\u003c\/strong\u003e — 29 × 23 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn original work by Moroccan artist Smail Tirsi.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDelivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Casablanca and Rabat in 48 h, rest of Morocco in 3–4 days, international on quote.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePayment:\u003c\/strong\u003e cash on delivery, bank transfer or cheque.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSee it in person:\u003c\/strong\u003e ARTWORKS Gallery, Luxoria, Av.
