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.
