About the Item

Zerrouki Boukhari is an Algerian painter and scenographer who wears many hats. Born in Mostaganem, he was a trainee at the School of Dramatic Art in Sidi Fredj from 1964 to 1968, when he became an assistant stage designer at the Algerian National Theatre and an assistant in plastic arts at the National School of Dramatic Art in Bordj El Kiffan. Between 1964 and 1970, after studying at the National School of Architecture and Fine Arts in Algiers, Zerrouki became a member of the Group of 35 painters. In 1973, on the fringes of a seminar led by the great playwright Abdelkader Alloula, he produced a collective fresco with the most important contemporary Algerian artists, including Mohammed Khadda, co-founder of the National Union of Plastic Arts in 1964, Denis Martinez and Mohamed Benbaghdad, co-founders and initiators of the Aouchem (tattoo) movement in 1967. As a set designer for the Oran theatre and Algerian television, he worked with the greatest names in theatre and designed the sets and costumes for some forty plays, including those by Abdelkader Alloula (Homk Salim, Lithem, Ledjouad, Hafila Tassir), M'Hamed Benguettaf (Arrêt fixe), Ziani Chérif Ayad (Les Martyrs reviennent cette semaine), Abdelkrim Barchid (Le Dernier conteur) and Kateb Yacine. As a theatre designer, Zerrouki has not resigned himself to seeing his work disappear. As an attentive observer of the evolution of the society in which he lived, he continued to feed on the plots that unfolded on stage in order to inscribe his pictorial production process in a perpetual reading through painting. Between the beginning of the 1970s and the beginning of the 1990s, he held several exhibitions in Algiers and Oran, but also abroad. He obtains in 1986, the First Great Price of the Festival of the professional theatre of Algiers. The collectors of the region of Ménart are very fond of the works of Zerrouki Boukhari. The Hermitage Museum in The Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg has acquired one of his works, "October Fields and May Plain". Today, the artist lives in France and devotes himself exclusively to painting. His vision of contemporary art has evolved considerably, which is reflected in these new works. The distance from his native country has given him a vision and an approach to a singular world. This distance has become a fertile cultural crossroads and a source of creation that is undoubtedly broader, taking an interest in the fate of all humanity.
