Zoulikha Bouabdellah's 'Let's Dance!' at Lilia Ben Salah
Zoulikha Bouabdellah presents her second solo exhibition at Lilia Ben Salah gallery, titled 'Let's Dance!', from February 1 to March 23, 2024. The show features new paintings with vivid color fields, fragmented bodies, and symbolic forms, exploring the aesthetics of the fragment and the body as a poetic house. Bouabdellah's work deconstructs canonical representations, particularly of female and male bodies, within socio-political dynamics. The artist's statement reflects on the body as an object and subject, referencing Gaston Bachelard's topography of intimate being. Works include 'Diane' (2023), 'Jeu de Jambes' (2023), 'Amour maternel' (2023), and 'Soldat' (2023), continuing her series 'Envers Endroit' since 2015. The exhibition runs from February 1 to March 23, 2024.
