J'aimais son œuvre intense, lumineuse et sensible. Peintre délicat, il peignait ses rêves et nous les offrait en partage. Formé dans les écoles des Beaux-arts d'Oran, puis à Tourcoing et à Paris, il s'installe en France, dans le Nord gris et chaleureux qui, rapidement, l'adopte. Ce Nord accueillant, Mahjoub Ben Bella l'illuminera des couleurs, de la lumière de sa Méditerranée natale et de son pays, l'Algérie qui coulait passionnément dans ses veines. Peinte neuf jours avant sa disparition, sa dernière peinture sur son lit d'hôpital en est la parfaite illustration.Il fut un peintre virtuose aux multiples facettes. Parallèlement à ses grandes et petites peintures sur toile, sur papier, sur bois ou sur pavés, il réalisera des céramiques, des objets, des gravures, des performances et des fresques monumentales dans des lieux publics. En 1986, il peindra les célèbres pavés du Paris-Roubaix, L'envers du Nord, fresque routière de 12 kilomètres, véritable tapis de signes, rouleau magique d'écritures. En juin 1988, il rendra à Wemblay un fraternel hommage à Nelson Mandela.Expositions personnelles et collectives dans de nombreux musées, centres d'art et galeries d'Europe, du Proche-Orient et une rétrospective au MAMA d'Alger, Mahjoub Ben Bella a été représenté dans vingt musées et collections publiques. Grâce à la Donation Claude & France Lemand, le musée de l'Institut du monde arabe est riche de seize de ses éclairantes peintures.'- Jack LangNé en 1946 à Maghnia, dans l'ouest algérien, Mahjoud Ben Bella est un peintre aux multiples facettes, réalisant à la fois des œuvres monumentales, des céramiques, des objets, des peintures sur toile de tous formats ainsi que des œuvres sur papier, sur bois ou sur pierre. A ce jour, Mahjoub Ben Bella est représenté dans vingt musées et collections à travers le monde. « Sa peinture est un chant incantatoire. Dans ses toiles, il compose des champs sacrés dont les sillons nous entraînent au-delà du simple lyrisme. Il se laisse posséder par le vertige de l'écriture jusqu'à l'extase, jusqu'à devenir le chantre d'un livre de prières à la gloire même de l'Art. » - Jean-Louis Pinte, Les champs sacrés de Ben Bella, cité in Le Figaroscope, Paris.'I knew Mahjoub Ben Bella very well. I was fond of his intense oeuvre, full of light and sensitivity. A delicate artist, he painted his dreams and shared them with us. Studying at the School of Fine Arts of Oran, and then in Tourcoing and Paris, he settled in France in the grey warmth of the North, which quickly adopted him. Mahjoub Ben Bella sought to brighten up that welcoming North with his colours, with the light of his Mediterranean origins and of his native country, Algeria, that passionately ran through his veins. His last painting, dating from nine days before his death, was executed from his hospital bed and illustrates perfectly the essence of his art.He excelled as a painter, but also as an artist with multiple facets. Besides his large and small paintings on canvas, on paper, on panel or on cobblestone, he also realized ceramics, objects, prints, performances and monumental frescoes in public spaces. In 1986, he painted the famous cobblestones of the Paris-Roubaix, L'envers du Nord, a twelve kilometer-long road fresco, a true carpet of signs and a magical scroll of writings. In June 1988, he paid a fraternal tribute to Nelson Mandela at Wembley. With several solo and group exhibitions held in many museums, art centers and galleries across Europe, the Near-East and a retrospective exhibition at the MAMA of Algiers, Mahjoub Ben Bella's work is represented in over twenty museums and public collection. Following Claude and France Lemand's donation, the museum of the Institut du Monde Arabe now has sixteen of his illuminating paintings.' - Jack LangMahjoub Ben Bella was born in the Western part of Algeria, in Maghnia, in 1946.
