Mahjoub Ben Bella: Lumière d'or

Presenting a broad selection of paintings, many of which have never previously been seen, this exhibition focuses on the most recent period of the artist's uninterrupted artistic activity until his death in 2020.
Mahjoub Ben Bella is a multi-faceted artist who produced paintings on canvas, paper, and wood as well as happenings and monumental works in public areas. He belongs to what was known as Abstract Expressionism or Lyrical Abstraction, a movement that emerged in the second half of the twentieth century.
This first exhibition by French Algerian Mahjoub Ben Bella at the gallery offers to see a series of paintings emblematic of his pictorial research, questioning the relationship between signs and abstraction.

A fully illustrated catalogue accompanying the exhibition includes unpublished essays by Céline Berchiche PhD, modern and contemporary art historian, and Morad Montazami, Director of Zamân Books & Curating.
