The works of Nabil El Makhloufi all share the them The works of Nabil El Makhloufi all share the themes of the search for oneself and happiness. 🍀 They embody this generation which, in an existential and universal quest, heads north by sea, taking all the risks and leaving everything behind. This is also the reason why water is present in all of Nabil El Makhloufi's works. 🌊 On the one hand, it is a symbol of passage, the very allegory of the journey. On the other hand, water also has a spiritual and religious connotation, like its use in prayers or baptism. Present from birth, a source of creation but also of destruction, it evokes here an initiatory journey towards the pursuit of a brighter future. 🔮 NABIL EL MAKHLOUFI The Arrival, 2021 Oil and Acrylic Paint on Canvas 60 x 50 cm #nilgallery #nilgalleryparis #morocco #parisgallery #parisart #nabilelmakhloufi #fez #migrantstories
In 1971 President Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt inau In 1971 President Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt inaugurated a monumental project to construct the great Aswan Dam. The construction of the dam led to much of the land of ancient Nubia to be fully submerged underwater and the whole region with its multi millennial heritage became a modern day Atlantis. The trauma endured by Nubians of seeing their land go under water has left deep scars and has slowly lead to cultural extinction. Artist Fathi Hassan is trying to do just the opposite with his work. In his drawings, paintings, sculptures and installations, Hassan experiments with the written and spoken word, exploring the theme of ancient languages erased by colonial domination. With invented, kufic-inspired scripts, he plays with the symbols, textures and calligraphy of his Nubian heritage to explore the space between graphic symbolism and literal meaning in vibrant colors and collage. Hassan's work often emphasizes power relations and the relationship between the oral and written word; drawing upon his Nubian heritage and installations, he places particular emphasis on the loss of language under the dominance of empire. Most of his scripts are based upon kufic calligraphy, but remain deliberately illegible and impossible to decipher. Artworks from left to right: 1.

AlimiAdewale 🇳🇬🗿🗿 Untitled, 2020 Carve AlimiAdewale 🇳🇬🗿🗿 Untitled, 2020 Carved Ekki Wood and Acrylic paint 43 x 20 x 20 cm Alimi Adewale's sculptures examine the complex issues facing people in his Nigerian community. Imbued with their own mortality, his sculptures are an articulation of traditional western African sculpture and experimental contemporary art. ⚒️ 🪵 👥 Incorporating elements of minimalism, expressionism and abstraction, Alimi Adewale creates works that are resolutely contemporary and cultivates the experiential function of art compared to the traditional African sculptures. 💫 🌍
Lou Escobar @lou__escobar Destiny 🌈 90x72 cm Lou Escobar @lou__escobar Destiny 🌈 90x72 cm - 120x 96 cm Fujifilm print Ed of 5+2 A.P 🎡The brightness of the colors present in Lou Escobar's photographs are depicting a cinematographic world, as kitsch as sensual. The characters she chooses are are always central to her work, while the choice and diversity of the settings install a real desire to create a narrative in the viewer. 🎞 Lou Escobar who pushes the script to its paroxysm, depicts the plurality of the bodies, the ages and the lively, magnetic and charismatic force of the women. 📍Location: Nil Gallery, Paris 14, Rue des Coutures Saint Gervais 75003 Paris #louescobar #destiny #fujifilm #nilgallery #nilgalleryparis #nilgalleryeverywhere #artsy

Nabil El Makhloufi (@nabil_el_makhloufi ) born in Nabil El Makhloufi (@nabil_el_makhloufi ) born in in Fez 🇲🇦 , Morocco and now lives and works in Leipzig 🇩🇪 , is a heritor of the Sufi culture ⛲️ and his humanistic legacy. 
 The artist has been interested for many years in the phenomenon of migration, for him intimately linked to the search for happiness and progress for everyone. In many ways ‘Les Oiseaux de passage’ translates to ‘Birds of Passage’ - Creates a visual conversation about the link between migration and the feeling of wandering and deracination. In the foreground a young man painted in a very figurative and realistic way, allegory of the individuality of these men and these women who by dint of being evoked in the plural (migrants) like the crowd in the background lose their identities, and whose conflicts, hope and dreams become abstract as Nabil wanted to represent this crowd: without face, deprived of identity.
