An article that I translated for Mourad Elloumi
Biography
MOURAD
ELLOUMI, born on the 27th - 6 - 1961, graduated from the National
Institute of Art, Architecture and Urbanism of Tunis in 1986.
He has been
passionate about cinema, art and literature from an early age. He regularly
participates in cultural events and especially the training of young people in
painting clubs. Between two short rewarding experiences, one as the artistic
director of a publishing house and press (Tourist Gazette) and the other as the
responsible for his own communication box (Fine Art) ,he landed in 1988 in the
world of education and dedicated himself
to the education of fine arts in order to contribute to the development of
freedom of expression and the creativity
project at school.
Thus he
cultivated his passion for painting and made several solo and group exhibitions
between 1992 and 2000 (Sidi Bou Said Museum, Gallery khayachi La Marsa,
cultural center abdeaziz Djemail, cultural center el Menzah ....). His
commitment to freedom of expression and the human rights deprived him for several
years from participating in official exhibitions under the old totalitarian
regime.
In the
aftermath of the "Arab Spring" the breath of freedom consolidates his
career of an engaged artist .His recent thinking fits in this context and leads
him to the exercise of a research that meets the foundations of a new plastic
writing.
The project
of these recent achievements entitled “Synergy” is a plea to the manifesto of
the new "Sure realism".
