Achraf Touloub

Discord venue

Achraf Touloub (born in 1986 in Casablanca, Morocco, lives and works in Paris, France) investigates the links between tradition and modernity in our globalized world.

 

Working in a variety of mediums, he opposes the ancient oriental motifs and ideas he depicts to the contemporary aesthetic of his compositions. Take, for instance, his copper ink drawings. Oscillating between abstraction and figuration, they consist of repeated Sequences (2015) painstakingly traced on paper. While from afar, the undulating lines coalesce and appear as monochromatic planes of color, up close, they become legible as a multitude of calligraphic signs.
