The EACC Espai d’Art Contemporani de Castelló presents a solo exhibition by the artist Abdelkader Benchamma.
Over the years, he has built an original and coherent body of work centered on drawing as a fundamental tool for thought and exploration.
Far from understanding it as a minor or preparatory discipline, the artist has championed drawing as an autonomous medium, capable of generating complex universes and immersive experiences.
His artistic practice has constantly evolved, absorbing and reinterpreting diverse references ranging from classical drawing and scientific modelling to fresco, Japanese prints, and fantasy and esoteric literature.
Benchamma thus proposes an “expanded drawing” that overflows the traditional limits of paper.
His interventions occupy walls, ceilings and floors, integrating into the architecture of the exhibition space and transforming it.
Drawing ceases to be an object contained within a frame and becomes an environment, an atmosphere, an immersive experience.
This expansion generates a new perceptual dimension that places the viewer within the work, inviting them to explore, inhabit it and transcend their own limits.
The horizon of events. Abdelkader Benchamma
