Fouad Bellamine returns to these slabs of night which are for him the steles of the cemeteries of Fez, the city where he was born. The night grass, the lichens, the light, the tombs of the Cemeteries of Fez series are like its Sainte-Victoire, of which Cézanne underlined the “perfume of distant marble”, a motif “where clarity is spiritualized”. He began “painting” them with a digital camera in the late 2000s, printing the photos on canvas, veiling them with paint. His Cemeteries are both childhood memories (when he played in the cemeteries of Fez) and a way of meditating on the passage of time, on absence and on the condition of existence.
