Marrakech – On May 22, ALMA Art Gallery will open its door to “Sans Limites” exposition, featuring the ever-evolving, ever-unapologetic Bouchaïb Habbouli.
Let’s get one thing straight: Habbouli doesn’t paint for you. He paints from something — something raw, almost primal.
It’s not about understanding. It’s about feeling. His forty new pieces don’t follow rules. They don’t ask for permission.
They explode with emotion, texture, freedom — and they don’t wait for you to catch up.
This isn’t just an art show. It’s a conversation between copper, canvas, and courage.
In between the fresh works, three copper pieces from his personal archive quietly anchor the exhibition.
They’re like ghosts from his past, reminding us where he started before he unbuckled the seatbelt and took off into the unknown.
There’s no storyline here. No tidy ending. Just strokes that scream and colors that hum.
In this latest chapter of his work, Habbouli dances — sometimes elegantly, sometimes furiously — on the line between figuration and abstraction.
He doesn’t paint what he sees. He paints what he feels. And when you look long enough, you start to feel it too.
It’s art without borders. Expression without restraint.
And in a world obsessed with captions and categories, Sans Limites is a quiet (and sometimes loud) rebellion.
A reminder that sometimes, the most honest thing we can do is just let go.
So here’s to Habbouli — for creating spaces where our emotions, our silences, our contradictions — are not only welcomed but celebrated.
