The exhibition, dubbed "HAMID, Poetics of the Intimate" will be launched on March 5 at the Villa Chanteclerc. It will feature some thirty artworks by the late artist and a dozen canvases representing "on monotype backgrounds, forms that make signs: the moon, the bird, the dog, writings and numbers," a statement from the organizers said.
In a statement to MAP, Muryelle Moulferdi, initiator of this exhibition, expressed her wish to showcase the works of the late Moroccan artist and make them known to a new audience because "his works, both human and universal, are timeless and deserve to be known both in Martinique and Morocco."
Moulferdi held several solo and group exhibitions in Martinique, United States, Germany, Ecuador, Cuba, Senegal, Dominican Republic, Barbados, Haiti and France.
Besides winning a Gold Medal at the Santo Domingo Biennale (1994) and the Best Other Media Award in Antigua (1989), the talented visual artist made a posthumous entry into the Bibliothèque nationale de France in 2020. The National Library of France is the repository of all that is published in France and also holds extensive historical collections.
