ArteEast introduces the delicately spiritual installations and sculptures of Younes Rahmoun. This selection of works highlights Rahmoun’s ability to incite visceral and humbling reactions from his viewers. Rahmoun engages within an Islamic context but is also intrigued by Sufi thought and practice. This duality results in the reverberation of repetition and meditation throughout his work. Rahmoun uses his imagination, a space he says is informed by religion, to create what he describes as “visually inconceivable dimensions.” Just as these works serve as a conduit to the universe and its Creator for Rahmoun, they also summon viewers to make the connection, even if for a brief moment. Younes Rahmoun lives and works in Tétouan, Morocco. Accompanying the exhibition are essays by Maymanah Farhat, Florence Renault and an interview by Abdellah Karroum.
