... Impeccable illustration dune fertile imagination ! Parfaite harmonie entre la symbolique que véhicule le signe, les couleurs chaudes dun destin en mouvement et le support façonné par des années de résistance. Merci Kachmar pour cette exposition qui démontre encore une fois que lHomme amazigh a su, et ce depuis la préhistoire, entretenir un patrimoine admirable, une mémoire collective millénaire et une croyance incontestable dans la noblesse de lart et de la culture des peuples. |

... "A culmination of symbols that transcend time". This artist is truly an ambassador of Berber culture from Morocco. Very interesting... Something to check out! Still showing in DC for a few more weeks... |

Azul The following is a review of some of Hamid's previews work: (Hamid Kachmar is a descendant of a nomadic Berber tribe in Tafilalet, a region in the southeastern part of Morocco. His materials and techniques evoke metaphors, moods, and expressions of where he grew up and his travels experiences. Kachmar’s fanatical use of natural pigments, most of which are from his mother’s dying repertoire include, walnut, madder, henna, and saffron....their preparation is part of his alchemistic approach to creativity. He uses textured surfaces to convey memory’s persistence and perseverance: colors are of earth tones - warm shades of yellows, browns, reds, ochre’s; colors from southeastern Morocco. Most of the materials have a sort of “sacred” value or a close relationship with his background; wool, wood and sand are of a major presence in his work. His goal is to bring his cultural heritage to speak across time and cultural borders. By incorporating symbols of the alphabet “Tifinagh,” weaving, architecture and body adornment patterns, he captures the wisdom of Berber myths and tales and by communicating its imaginative energy. “I’d like to consider myself, along with historians, writers, poets and architects, a perpetuator and a guardian of human heritage and gatekeeper of a collective visual memory.”) Thank you Hamid for inviting me and thanks to Moroccoboard for the great coverage. I hope we see more HAMIDs in the future. Great jobs guys! Mostafa |

... Thank you very much for bringing this piece for us to see. Moroccan art is so diverse and rich and the more we place it in a podium, the better for our artists. Our Artists need all the help they could get. I had great hope in Touria Jabrane to change things a bit but so far is the same old same old. I guess money talks. Her ministry does not get enough dough to be able to make a change. Events such as these can only help. When Nawal moutawakil and Aouita won the Olympic medals, things changed dramatically in Athletics, lets hope the same can happen to Art. |
