Oussama Garti

About Oussama Garti was born in 1995 in Rabat, Morocco. He lives and works between London and Casablanca. Both an artist and architect, he studied at the Architectural Association (AA) School of Architecture in London. He is also the co-founder of Interval, a non-profit cultural initiative that aims to widen access to art, invite different actors to debate around a range of topics, and support projects with high social impact in the MENA region. His paintings are celebrations of colour, marked by polyphony, irregularity, abstraction, and the questioning of space. He stretches it, contorts it, interprets it. He reduces his brushstrokes to diffuse colours that rediscover others and merge into a new intimate world that he wants everyone to appropriate. "I am fascinated by the complexity of colour in a tiny reflection, the transparency levels of a cloud, the imprecise boundaries of spaces on the surface of a pond and the movement of water as a breeze passes." - Oussama Garti
