Rabat– La Galerie 38 in Casablanca will present Youness Khourassani’s solo exhibition “SATORI” on November 26 at 7 pm.
Youness Khourassani is set to reveal his new body of work in an upcoming solo exhibition titled “SATORI,” where he explores light, matter, and the spiritual through his ceramic pieces.
The exhibition marks a bold, new chapter in the artist’s artistic career; Khourassani dedicated his previous artworks to exploring optical art and chromatic vibrations.
With diligent attention to detail, Khourassani carefully crafted a body of work that explores the fine intersection between light and matter, transforming raw clay into fine architectural composition worth seeing.
Khourassani invites visitors to reflect on how simple materials like clay and light may evoke a sense of wonder.
About the artist
Khourassani is a Moroccan visual artist famous for his abstract paintings, exploration of light, ceramic works, and perception.
Born in Casablanca in 1976 into an environment rich with collective memory, the artist developed an interest in space and materials from an early age, which allowed him to join the National School of Fine Arts, where he pursued his training until he graduated in 2001.
Khourassani’s unique approach
“Creativity requires courage”, Khourassani believes, a philosophy that is deeply reflected in his journey defined by fearless experimentation and constant desire for change.
The artist’s evolution follows three different, yet connected phases; his artistic journey took him from raw materials, continuous exploration of light, and finally to ceramic sculptures, each stage built on the other, highlighting the artist’s continuous desire to challenge the ordinary.
Fusing traditional techniques and contemporary technologies, Khourassani’s artworks reflect a reconciliation between the past and the present.
Khourassani has exhibited at national and international scales. In February, he landed in Cape Town, South Africa, for his first solo exhibition in Africa. Titled “Energies of light”, the exhibition invited visitors to reflect on light as a cosmic force.
