RACHID
BEN
ALI
“Ben Ali’s works are born out of two cultures. Often it is crude, passionate, cruel, and homoerotic, with canvases full of cartoon-like drawings that reflect a complex personal and cultural world.”
“Zijn oeuvre wordt regelmatig vergeleken met dat van Jean-Michel Basquiat vanwege de rauwe energie en directe benadering.”
“Uitgekozen door Koningin Beatrix voor een Stedelijk Museum-tentoonstelling.”
