Chater and Daifallah exhibition opens.

Thursday night saw the opening of the latest exhibition at the Orientalist Art Gallery. The works by Noreddine Chater and Noreddine Daifallah had not departed from the style of their earlier works, but are nevertheless still striking, with Chater's softer more painterly style integrating calligraphic elements and Daifallah's mix of bold and intricate calligraphy.

An interesting contrast in styles.

The guests included Kate and Alaa from Dar Seffarine, David Amster, Australians Peter Hook and Rebecca Raft, Celine from Fes et Gestes, Jess Stephens of Culture Vultures who ran the event, Dan from the divine cafe, Amour and Chocolat, Bonnie Kaplan, Robyn Kerrison, Dominick Nisbett and a very welcome face, Gibran Bouayad and his new wife Sumaya, on a return visit from the USA.

Anonymous said...: Dear View from Fez,

Thank you for your very interesting and informative blog. And thank you for coverage of this superb exhibit.

Would it be possible to have a bit more balance in a story like this between Moroccans and foreigners? I imagine that half the people who read and enjoy your blog are Moroccans, but how do you think it makes them feel when the photos and guests mentioned are all foreigners? What about the Moroccan artists, the Moroccan owners of the gallery, the Moroccan guests at the opening?

Thanks!; Saturday, May 30, 2009
