Loutfi Souidi's 'Je Ne Sais Point' at Comptoir des Mines Gallery
The Comptoir des Mines gallery in Marrakech presents 'Je Ne Sais Point' (I Do Not Know), a solo exhibition by Moroccan artist Loutfi Souidi. Born in 1994 in Sidi Slimane, Souidi graduated from the Institut National des Beaux-Arts de Tétouan in 2018 and moved to Marrakech in early 2020. His multidisciplinary practice spans drawing, painting, collage, sculpture, and installation, often incorporating found objects like burnt oil, grease, and discarded materials. The exhibition explores themes of ecological crisis, human alienation from nature, and the artist's role in society. Key works include the 'Spleen' installations, the drawing series 'Le nuage ne pleut plus quand il crève,' and collages like 'Wild Flower' and 'Cityscape.' Souidi employs techniques such as frottage and collage to create a retro-futuristic, toxic aesthetic. The show runs at Comptoir des Mines, with details on the gallery's website.
