The “Evolution” exhibition, which ran from March 2 to 17, 2024 at Longjumeau’s Halle Mandela, took me back in time to my earliest pictorial works, exhibiting photos of my early teenage paintings in gouache on paper and a few canvases from the early 2000s, when I took out my brushes again and decided to return to acrylic paintings on canvas. The town of Longjumeau has given me a wonderful welcome, for which I’m infinitely grateful.
Here’s a portrait of Franco-Lebanese trumpeter Ibrahim Maalouf playing in mid-air. This is the second portrait I’ve painted of this formidable musician. This painting will be exhibited at the Festival de Jazz 2024 de Longjumeau in May 2024.
This is a reworking of a “Marcus Miller’s Thunder painting” originally created in 2003 as part of a tryptic dedicated to the “SMV” bass trio (Stanley Clarke , Marcus Miller , Victor Wooten). The original was offered to Marcus Miller in 2009, and this one will complete the tryptic on the wall of Victor Wooten’s Center for Music and Nature in Tennessee.
Here’s a double portrait of the two famous rappers Tupac Shakur & Notorious Big (friends then enemies) who took this musical genre to an unprecedented level in the 90s. This painting was created for the Salon des Arts 2023 in Longjumeau, the theme of which was Hip Hop.
Here’s a portrait of the Franco-Congolese Hip Hop dancer Junior Bosila Banya, who has had an extraordinary career. This portrait was created with two other paintings for the Salon des Arts 2023 in Longjumeau, the theme of which was Hip Hop.
Here’s a double portrait of Jean-Michel Basquiat, with his outer shell on one side and a piece from one of his works, The King”, on the other, showing a figure with the face of an African mask, adorned with the famous crown symbolizing success. This portrait is one of three canvases created for the Salon des Arts 2023 in Longjumeau, the theme of which was Hip Hop.
Here’s a new painting featuring the amazing bass player Stanley Clarke. It’s the 3rd one I make about that artist that I admire a lot 🙂 (Clic on the pic to enlarge it)
Here is a painting of teh awesome Lenny KRAVITZ . I wanted to show his powerful energy on stage conbine with a freedom feeling all in one artwork. Go check him out on stage if he is coming next to your place !
From May 10th until May 15th I’ll display 20 artworks as well as 20 photos taken on stage during concerts at the Longjumeau’s Jazz Festival. This exhibit will be displayed every day before and after every concert at the Longjumeau Theater.
