MWW Artwork of the Day (12/30/23)
Hocine Ziani (Algerian, born 1953)
La nuit de la fuite en Égypte (2015)
Oil on canvas, 120 x 160 cm.
Dürr Foundation collection, Germany
Combining realism with hyperrealism, Ziani's work depicts the different shades of his native Algeria and all aspects of life in the Sahara, the place where he mastered color, composition and perspective. The background of many of Ziani's paintings resemble the luminous, romantic dust of an on-coming mirage, heightening the drama of his otherwise simple scenes. The result is a sobering and clean composition injected with the artist's distinct tonal range and talent for shadow and light.

MWW Artwork of the Day (11/26/22)
Hocine Ziani (Algerian, b. 1953)
The Blue Silo (2009)
Oil on canvas, 120 x 120 cm.
National Museum of Fine Arts, Algiers
Combining realism with hyperrealism, Ziani's work depicts the different shades of his native Algeria and all aspects of life in the Sahara, the place where he mastered color, composition and perspective. Ziani produced paintings in which he used a rich plastic vocabulary, where realism, hyperrealism, impressionism and semi-abstraction interact. Through a game of contrast between foreground and background, it's the burst of light that particularly characterizes his works. In his works, Ziani explores all the nuances of shadows and reflections, of contrasts and gradients. As a figurative painter, he creates paintings from the real world while drawing his artistic effects from the resources of the imagination.

So the most listened to (internationally) French artist happens to be a Black woman, her artist name is Aya Nakamura. She is the only woman in France in the top 20 of the most listened to artists. She was born in Mali (Bamako) came in France as a young child with her family and she now has the French citizenship.
She might be the one singing (a song from Edith Piaf) during the Olympics opening ceremony in France.
Again she is the most famous French artists right now internationally.
White people are putting signs saying “No way for Aya, this is Paris not the market of Bamako”. That’s how racist France is.
But wanna know the icing on the cake? The reaction of some politicians on the left. Sandrine Rousseau defending Aya by saying that it would give the image of a “tolerant and open” France. This is all about “image” they don’t want to stop being racists pieces of shit they want to be able to do it while still looking good and anti racists.
You say “this is Paris not Bamako” meanwhile when Black and Arabs undocumented workers went on strike the construction site of the Olympics had to fucking slow down and stop in some sites because there was enough undocumented workers on those construction sites that their absence meant not being able to continue.
You say “this is Paris not Bamako” meanwhile the only reason your health system hasn’t completely collapsed is because 1 doctor out of 4 is born abroad. Some of your hospitals would close without foreign doctors (Algerians represent almost 25% of the foreign doctors in France.
So you know what? This is Bamako. This is Algiers. This is Dakar. Without us you wouldn’t be a rich country. If you didn’t want us here you shouldn’t have colonized our people and shouldn’t keep looting our countries while financing corrupted governments, organizing assassinations of rulers who want to decolonize Africa and organizing uprising against them.
(P.S: Le premier qui vient défendre Sandrine Rousseau je le bloque ici on soutient la gauche révolutionnaire et porteuse de valises pas la gauche avec des relents de paternalisme colonial qui bégaie dès qu’il faut prendre position correctement contre le racisme)
