  :: :: The Aglou saga ::  

AGLOU (Sidi Moussa, province of Tiznit - south Morocco).
The first painting has been realized in Aglou in 1978,
originally an automatic drawing (filling of space).

The three other paintings were designed as a direct extension of the first,
free from any influences of the intermediaries versions.

One can note, by observing the four paintings, the progression from original
chaos towards a perfect balance, result of introspective auto-analyze feverish and exhausting,
which, although having wasted eight years of possible unconcern, were
extremely enlightening.

These images are mirrors: though having been conceived through personal theoretical search,
every body remains free to find his own interest there and make his own interpretation of it.

Realized during the second and third years which followed Aglou 1, this painting shows in a repetitive way two opposite characters: Charles Darwin, apostle of Rationality, and Salvador Dali, master of Irrationality.

Apparent disorder extremely organized built according to strict and complex geometrical and mathematical structures, which required more than a whole year of preparation.

The centre is elaborated starting from a geometric progression borrowed from M.C.Escher who, better than whoever can symbolize the bridge between the rigid logic of the geometry and the dream of the artist.

One also finds in the still life in bottom on the right, an ordered representation of the signs of the zodiac in the form of animals or symbolic elements in reference to mythology (Persée killing Gorgona within a portrait in double image of S.Dali, for example). Only the people initiated to certain esoteric knowledge are able to seize the hidden meaning of these symbols, which does not prevent every one from interpreting them by his own way...
