Mohamed Melehi (Maroc, 1936-2020)Sans titre 2016signé et daté 'MELEHI 2016' au reversacrylique sur toilesigned and dated 'MELEHI 2016' on the reverseacrylic on canvas200 x 160cm. (78 3/4 x 63in.)Footnotes:ProvenanceCollection privée, EspagneNé dans la ville côtière d'Asilah en 1936, Mohammed Melehi a commencé sa formation artistique dans les années 1950 à l'École des Beaux-Arts de Tétouan. Il a ensuite étudié l'art en Espagne, en Italie, à Paris et en Amérique. Après avoir terminé ses études à l'étranger, Mohamed Melehi est retourné au Maroc avec l'intention d'incorporer une compréhension moderniste dans une exploration de son patrimoine culturel en 1964. C'est la même année qu'il a commencé à enseigner à l'École des Beaux-Arts de Casablanca en tant que professeur de peinture, de sculpture et de photographie jusqu'en 1969.Inspirées par l'architecture et notamment le mouvement Bauhaus, les formes géométriques et les abstractions angulaires englobent le travail de Melehi en remettant en question les formes traditionnelles de la peinture et en nous présentant sa propre vigueur artistique et son talent.Les éléments vivaces de l'œuvre actuelle permettent au spectateur de percevoir un dynamisme énergétique que Melehi considérait comme définissant la vie au Maroc. Bon nombre de ses créations pourraient être considérées comme un rappel de l'artisanat traditionnel marocain, que ce soit dans les textiles, les mosaïques ou la peinture. Inspiré par ces pratiques, Melehi a également utilisé la calligraphie et la nature environnante, telle que les vagues et les horizons du Maroc, pour informer son travail, ainsi que les vagues qui entourent ses origines côtières. L'œuvre actuelle témoigne d'une évolution par rapport à ses formes ondulantes qui dominaient dans ses œuvres des années 1960.De la même manière que le Jardin Majorelle, le jardin d'Yves Saint Laurent au Maroc, les œuvres de Melehi présentent généralement une palette de couleurs primaires vives et audacieuses. Comparativement, on pourrait dire que les deux créateurs étaient déterminés à s'engager avec l'art dans les espaces de vie au Maroc. En 1969, Melehi, aux côtés des artistes Mohamed Chabâa et Farid Belkahia, a exposé des œuvres dans le quartier animé et historique de la médina de Marrakech, en rébellion contre le style d'accrochage des salons d'art. Le concept idéologique qui y était représenté était de permettre à l'art de transcender les limites de la toile.Born in the coastal town of Asilah in 1936, Mohammed Melehi began his artistic education in the 1950's at the School of Fine Arts of Tetuan. He would then go on to study Art in Spain, Italy, Paris, and America. Upon completion of his studies abroad, Mohamed Melehi returned to Morocco with a view to incorporate a modernist understanding into an exploration of his cultural heritage in 1964. It was in this same year that he began teaching at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts of Casablanca as the Professor of Painting, Sculpture and Photography until 1969. Inspired by architecture and particularly the Bauhaus movement, the geometric forms and angular abstractions encompass Melehi's work in challenging traditional forms of painting and present us with his own artistic vigour and prowess. The vivacious elements of the present work allows the viewer to get a sense of energetic dynamism that Melehi saw as defining life in Morocco. Many of his designs could be concluded as harkening of traditional Moroccan craft, whether that be in textiles, mosaics, or painting. Inspired by these practises, Melehi also used calligraphy and his surrounding nature such as waves and horizons of Morroco to inform his work and arguable the waves that encompassed his coastal origins. The present work displays an evolution from his wave forms that dominate in his works of the 1960s. In much the same way as Jardin Majorelle, Yves Saint Laurent's garden in Morocco, Melehis works typically present a palette of primary or bright, bold colours. Comparatively, it could be said that both creatives were intent on engaging with art in living spaces in Morroco. In 1969 Melehi, along with fellow artists Mohamed Chabâa and Farid Belkahia exhibited works in the lively and historic medina quarter of Marrakesh in rebellion against the art salon hanging style. The ideological concept being portrayed was to allow art to transcend the boundaries of the canvas.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
