Visual Arts:" The nectar of the art" Ahmed Abbes,A quest for joy

Through one of his works, the artist,  an autodidact, proposes to us a very gay pictorial journey  which expresses the joy of living, the beauty of nature, moments of peace of mind and the world, etc..

In others, it talks about dark moments of life, the appearance, fleeting and ephemeral, the passing of time, war ... But here and there, one feels the presence of central rights (Bouha, perhaps) in its various moods, from joy to misery, the joy  turning to anguish and doubt. All this is reflected by the choice of colors that range from studied to shameless, between hot and cold or a mixture thereof, by revealing contrasts and significant damage results, sometimes, the sense of elevation, while releasing the natural lightness of the brush.

In the painting entitled "island of the recovered", the wave of shapes merge, split and merge, cristalises the idea of ​​separation and reunion, accentuated by a sort of game under control of colors ranging from dark to light, the pronounced brown to gray to white. In the paintings "Rebel Without a Cause" and "Splendor in the Grass," the artist is inspired by the beauty of nature, the colors of the earth and some of its elements to suggest, in an extraordinary mixture , disruption of the human being and to highlight the idea of ​​his rebellion, resistance and its eternal struggle against all that is negative onearth or in himself.

In this same theme, "War and Peace" and "Fear of the city" are two paintings, obviously reflecting, current and common experience. They convey a particular vision of the meaning of life, inviting men to reflect on what happened and what happens at home and everywhere else ...
The exhibition is a walk between past and present, evil and good, but it is primarily a quest for joy, even in the dark side of life and despite it ... "The nectar of the art" reveals, in our opinion, the depths of an artist who seeks the elevation and refuses to resign.
