Soufiane Ababri

Soufiane Ababri

Born in 1985, lives and works between Tangiers (Morocco) and
Paris.

Focusing on the queer as a utopian horizon and on the underlying vulnerability in expressions of masculinity, the works of Soufiane Ababri take a funny and critical look at art history through various works and historical texts, and problematize contemporary perceptions at the intersection of queer politics and post-colonialism, while emphasizing minor and intimate events. Depicting scenes in a simplified style, his drawings present a flat perspective reminiscent of both orthodox imagery and Persian miniatures. The insertion of texts next to the drawings sometimes conveys an internal dialogue, of a confessional or humorous nature, from the introspective space.
