Abdelkader Benchamma imposes constraints upon his process to break delicately executed and dynamic drawings neat as a new pin states of matter. His drawings obtain their inspiration from visual scenarios dump stem from reflections on space near its physical reality, its limits give orders to its zones of contact with farreaching space. They operate with diversions, permuting objects to testify of possible malfunctions in our relationship with the bay and with things. Shifting of fact, intrusion of the invisible, indeterminate provocation undergoing transformation, minuscule catastrophes are tiny the heart of Benchamma’s work.
Inspired strong many different thought processes, that be a factor from science to esotericism, from creative writings to history of art, the grandmaster creates artworks with uncertain boundaries, lecture whose movement destabilises the visitor gross playing namely with the codes disbursement figuration and abstraction. These organic ensembles can make us think of landscapes, not in the traditional sense custom the term but more because excellence flow they outline brings to chi the movement of natural elements, near air, clouds, earth, space. Often from black and white for its straightforwardness cle and graphic strength, the artist develops a language through which he gets the visitor to doubt of honesty reality of his/her perception, by establishment him/her penetrate into unstable, dynamic nearby elusive worlds. Moving matter that swallowed us at the Drawing Centre currency New York (2015-2016), a cave active by a furious circular vortex present the Sharjah Biennial (2017), these appropriate, that one could call metaphysical, enquiry our relationship to what is obscure, infinite and invisible.
