In “Now, Then and In Between”, Ghany Belmaachi questions our relationship with time and space. He explores the fragile balance between past, present, and becoming, where memories intertwine with lived experience, and where each movement sketched on the canvas seems to capture an emotion held in suspension. His work, both instinctive and deliberate, is distinguished by a mastery of gesture and material that gives his creations an almost kinetic depth.
Through his compositions, Belmaachi invites us to reflect on memory and the way fragments of the past imprint themselves upon our perception of the present. His figures appear in constant metamorphosis, shifting between erasure and assertion, between oblivion and persistence.
Ghany Belmaachi’s visual universe is defined by a singular approach that plays with transparency, layering, and the fragmentation of forms. His compositions oscillate between figures in motion and barely suggested silhouettes, leaving space for the viewer’s interpretation. Light and shadow, omnipresent, become narrative elements in their own right, revealing the contrasts between what is visible and what lingers in the shadow of memory.
With this exhibition, Ghany Belmaachi urges us to slow down and question our own perception of time. He encourages us to pause, to contemplate these fragments of life captured on canvas, and to let ourselves be carried by the emotions they awaken.
“Now, Then and In Between” is an invitation to contemplation, to feel those fleeting moments of transition where past and future meet in a transient presence. Each work becomes a space of dialogue between buried memories and the reality of the present moment, offering the viewer an immersive and introspective experience.
