Mahi Binebine, a renowned Moroccan artist, has long been celebrated for his ability to bridge the gap between the past and the present. Born and raised in Marrakech, a city teeming with history and vibrant traditions, Binebine's work is deeply rooted in the rich cultural heritage of Morocco. Binebine’s passion for art and fascination with his country's diverse customs have manifested in a unique and evocative series of masks. His art graces in permanent collection of the iconic Guggenheim Museum in the heart of New York City. Mahi Binebine's creative brilliance has found a global stage, as his works have been showcased in prestigious galleries across the world.
At Sprovieri’s exhibition, you'll encounter an exquisite collection of masks, each a testament to Binebine's extraordinary talent and profound connection to his homeland. These masks are not merely artistic creations; they are windows into the soul of Morocco. Artist’s inspiration for this series derives from Morocco's multicultural tapestry. The masks are a visual representation of the amalgamation of various influences that have shaped Moroccan identity over centuries. From Berber to Arab, African to Andalusian, each mask tells a story of coexistence and harmony among diverse communities.
As you explore each mask, you'll notice subtle symbolism and intricate details that evoke emotions and provoke thought. These masks serve as a commentary on the multifaceted nature of identity, the masks we wear in society and the layers that make up our true selves.
