Over
the years, Abdelkader Benchamma has built a body of work that focuses on
drawing. His artistic practice has evolved throughout his career, absorbing
references from classical drawing, scientific modeling, comics, Japanese prints
and literature. That said, Benchamma´s drawings are not
only delicate and highly sophisticated technical creations, but they also
contain a deep reflection on the states of matter and the relationship of
humans with the physical and metaphysical environment. The aesthetic evolution of his
compositions goes hand in hand with the contents he explores and thus a transformation that goes from the
figurative to the abstract and from the individual to the cosmic, can be seen.
Benchamma proposes an expanded drawing that overflows the boundaries of the
paper to occupy the exhibition space, creating a new dimension that surrounds
the viewer.
