A key figure of the postcolonial era and a protagonist of the Casablanca School, Moroccan artist Farid Belkahia (1934-2014) forged his own language by drawing on ancestral craft traditions, far from the tabula rasa advocated by Western avant-gardes. Having abandoned painting in favor of copper and then leather, he is the author of a unique body of work, in which forms of desire and desire for forms merge.
