Space poetry and artistic work of Ezzedine Al Hashemi

Art and space:

Art generally seeks to capture and adapt space, a poetic quest that has inspired artists throughout the historical periods of art. Since the Roman era, artists have found themselves in a poetic rhetoric about outer space, a source of inexhaustible inspiration. In the Renaissance, and in order to represent reality in all its dimensions, the artist inspired the images of astronomy and the inclusion of new heavens in the work of art .
Centuries later and with the development of the lens allow the artist to transcend the visual space in nature, to transmit unexpected and even more amazing worlds. The early twentieth century and shortly before the nineteenth century will be filled with images of crime and nebulae. The artist will have many sources to deal with his vision of space and the universe, but his work on color will change, inspired by the magical colors of the nebula. At the heart of ancient celestial iconography and at the entrance of art in a different adaptation to the progress made in the global discovery of objects and the earth, stars and stars.

Beyond the stars:

From this artistic and artistic overlap, the Moroccan artist and art critic Ezzeddine Al-Hashemi Idrissi works on his latest works of art in which mixed techniques are used to reveal beyond the earthly sky beyond the stars. In his latest exhibition in Rabat, "Space Poetism" (December 2018), we find ourselves in front of paintings that go beyond this clbadification to be considered miniaturized works of art hanging on the wall. What gives it contemporary features, with a poetic dimension, and space remains the artistic task that the artist seeks to represent. Because the universe is witnessing the rapprochement between science fiction and artistic research, Ezzedine Hachemi contemplates in her exhibition things that are generally out of sight of the world, which allows us to have a different view of the structures and systems of the universe, Andalusian visual images of decoration, mosaics, arabesques and others … making the receiver compatible with the cosmic fabric.

Using the technology of collage and glue, al-Hashemi builds his ores on its base, with materials and dyes that form cosmic dimensions, and relies on experimentation to build upon it to create its parallel vases. Combining the abstraction of engineering and lyricism in terms of color scheme, and the Moroccan-Andalusian character, trying to maintain the balance between all these visual references. Not only does it work on color, but it also mixes sand, glue, wood and other elements, making painting a picture beyond what we call "miniaturization", what which leads to the work of the fan clbadification between modernism and modernity.
This uncertainty in the clbadification is due to the interest of the artist not to work in the currents and the limits and the theoretical projections, he works the work of art in that it is a rich work of art in signs and symbols, does not aspire to adhere to a particular tendency and remains at its limits. This is why his work has many spiritual, semantic and intellectual dimensions, in that it seeks to put the person / the recipient in charge of questioning and the need to question, according to his imagination and his artistic skills, in an aesthetic reconciliation between Arab and Andalusian visual heritage and modernity.

A brief journey in time:

In order to realize the artistic work in all these dimensions, the artist works on multiple colored and visual spectrums, crossing each other to create a minimalist and poetic universe, where the artist represents the Haechemite cosmic scenes of sand and galaxies. is natural phenomena that reduce space. The latter transfers scenes between these different phenomena, which makes him face a brief journey in the time of the cosmos.
Most of the works presented are framed by a square-shaped frame, in order to create its magical image in a dimension that is close to the ancient mythological vision of the universe, with its miraculous connotations of 39, a world beyond the blue of the sky. And as its intention to bring scenes and scenes into a film relationship, the film is not just about portraying a framed and specific scene, leaving the recipient free to imagine what is outside the visual field and of the frame. Two cinemas portray Ezzedine Hachemi with his cosmic worlds, relying on the techniques of successive shots, thus realizing his exhibition as a film sequence constituting a complete film on the wall.

Nebula:

Between the poetics of space and the imagery of the outer worlds, these works are inseparable from the known aesthetics of the celestial nebula, where the world is formed in all cruelty, creating living bodies, breathable and moving. The artist here badociates his raw materials with the cruelty of his imagination to make it a generator of images celebrating color and form, and enjoying multiple lives, making them alive, in a three-dimensional space that dominates all the works of art presented by Hashemi.
Ezzedine al-Hashemi al-Idrisi is not in favor of representation because it is a precise transfer from the outside world, which depends on the representation of Nelson's approach Goodman. The artist enriches the work of metaphors that he brings in areas almost unrelated to each other. Make it not a normal goal and move it to the level of presence. Al-Hashemi draws his raw materials from the state of absence to the state of badiduity here and now, as the supreme artistic spirit. And that's what makes the works of art that work them, in addition to working on the universe, constitute a universe apart, it is a universe where different forms and similar, resulting from coincidences, control the development of the world.

Parallel works:

This artist then places us in front of parallel works of art, which are part of a photographic framework that represents the life, the splendor and the poetry of the universe, as well as in acts that incite us. to ask about the person himself and his relationship with his own salvation and his outward salvation. Ezzedine Al-Hashemi Idrisi, in addition to being a self-taught artist, is a technical critic who understands the role of art, as well as its importance and necessity in human life, and thus draws a map of the universe in which man must remain a questioner. It is the mission of the artist.
