The picture rails of the Ezzou’art gallery in Algiers are hosting, from September 3 to 22, an exhibition of paintings by the artist Myriam Mohli Aoues.
Through the exhibition entitled “Abstraction du bleu en folie”, art enthusiasts will be able to admire recent works that are excessively colored with, however, a predominance of the color blue. About thirty works are offered between canvases, boxes and decorative objects.
The painting of Myriam Mohli Aoues has this strength to represent the art of nature in all its states. She draws, so to speak, from nature to make her artistic materials.
In a rather abstract personalized approach, helped by her knife, she paints the heart of the forest with its luxuriant nature, its trees and its flowery fields as far as the eye can see. The marine world is not to be outdone since we find the undertows of the sea with the eddies of the waves. The surface of certain works – sometimes done in oil paint, sometimes in acrylic – is lined with furtive blue and white knife strokes where in the center silhouettes are frozen but which are not unknown to the painter.
These expressive silhouettes are enveloped in tones between radiance and sobriety. Unconsciously, Myriam Molhi Aoues thus evokes the familiar and intimate sensations linked to memory. His painting becomes poetry. Indeed, she poetically draws things from the world around her, appearances or even feelings of the moment and the past at the same time.
Fascinated and in love with The Casbah of Algiers, the painter wanted to immortalize in his own way one of the oldest and richest places in Algiers, namely The Casbah of Algiers with its alleys, its stairs and its white paint. sparkling. The knife remains for the painter an important and essential pictorial tool to spread the thick paint on the canvas or to work the work by impasto.
As a reminder, the painter Myriam Mohli Aoues is a trained nurse and painter. She bathed very young in the middle of easels, brushes and palettes. Indeed, a universe that she knows too well since she is the daughter of a painter. His grandparents are model makers by profession. Drawing held no secrets for her. However, at the age of 15, she realized a dream close to her heart, that of exhibiting with her mother in Saint Etienne, France. She studied at the republic of arts in Algeria. She has to her credit several participations in exhibitions in Algeria and abroad. She has exhibited in particular in Algiers, at the Boualem Bessaïh Opera in Ouled, at the French Institute and at the Cultural Center, at the Mercure Hotel and at the Sable d’Or complex.
She admits that her inspiration comes from her many travels and “especially cruises, just to contemplate the sea, to create a void around me between sky and sea, what more could you ask for to dive and be inspired by the beauty of our universe? that man must preserve,” she explains.
