Benabou

Benabou is an innovative contemporary artist renowned for his compelling visual explorations of urban life and cultural hybridity. Born in 1987 in Casablanca, Morocco, and raised in Paris, Benabou’s work is deeply influenced by his North African heritage and his experiences in the bustling metropolis of Paris. Blending elements from street art, abstract expressionism, and traditional Moroccan motifs, his paintings and multimedia pieces evoke both nostalgia and a visionary outlook on the shifting identities of modern societies.

Since his debut solo exhibition in Paris in 2012, Benabou’s work has garnered international acclaim, with exhibitions across Europe, North Africa, and North America. Through bold color palettes, layered textures, and inventive use of found objects, Benabou seeks to challenge boundaries and foster dialogue about migration, multiculturalism, and memory. His art continues to evolve, traversing new mediums and collaborations, while consistently inviting viewers to contemplate the interplay of place, identity, and transformation.
