OUZANI

Melik Ouzani worked as a drawer-model maker for industrial companies until 1974, when he discovered graffiti and tags on New York’s streets’
walls. Since, He devotes himself to painting and works in a vast industrial studio at Aubervilliers where he develops his “Tronches”
(faces) and “Objeux” (Object-games).
Allergic to any kind of realism, indifferent to abstract concepts and figuration, obsessed with colour in juxtapositions, he writes and overlays figures and signs of all size with utensils and various supports.
Wanting to break up with any known artistic movement, Melik Ouzani accumulates symbols and traces on canvas. His spontaneity reminds us of our childhood, primitive and authentic gestures.
His artistic approach consists on divesting himself from any influence or modes of creation in order to find again his innocent child mind, his lost naivety.
