Sidi El Karchi
Rest, 2006
Painted super crisply like pop art, advertisements and comic strips. Without a doubt, the reclining model is accurately rendered; he looks like a human hilly landscape. The resting boy assumes that he is unobserved. Are we allowed to look at him so blatantly? Here is a less confrontational question,
...
namely how did Sidi El Karchi make this figure piece? The same way he builds up his other paintings: first with an underpainting in acrylic paint that can be processed quickly, then continuing patiently with layers of oil paint. He eschews traditional colour shadows in favour of even, flat planes, around which he draws a line.
