OFF-SITE EXHIBITION AT VILLA CARL FICKE

This off-site exhibition, conceived as a tribute to Mohamed Hamidi, invites visitors to rediscover a body of work of rare density—where every form seems to bear its own remembrance, and every colour carries a breath of life. Hamidi leaves behind an abundant pictorial universe, a constellation whose radiance continues to illuminate the artistic landscape, in Morocco and beyond.

A leading member of the Casablanca School, Hamidi transforms the human figure into a sign-body, charged with manifold meanings. His work often lets figuration grow slender, dissolve, or drift toward abstraction and symbolism, as though the artist were searching for the innermost core of forms—their hidden memory. Traditional motifs, tattoos, woven patterns, architectural structures: he returned to these not as models to replicate, but as materials to be reimagined and transmuted into a universal language.

Through this exhibition, the National Foundation of Museums renews its commitment to promoting and safeguarding Moroccan artistic creation, offering it a space for visibility, transmission, and resonance. This initiative forms part of a long-term vision: to present the public with artistic encounters that are thoughtful, sensitive, and indispensable.

We at La Galerie 38 are honoured to collaborate in celebrating an artist whose vision has shaped history and continues to open new horizons.
