Hédy Gobaa
Hédy Gobaa is bi-national, with citizenship in both Tunisia and France. Having grown up in Tunisia until the age of 16, they then pursued an education in Visual Art in France from 1996 to 2005. After returning to Tunisia, they exhibited their artwork from 2007 to 2010, up until the start of the Arab Spring. Seeking greater artistic freedom and an experimental practice, they relocated to Montreal in 2013 to make a living from their painting. Eventually, they enrolled in a PhD program for Art Studies and Practice, obtaining their degree in November of 2018. Upon arriving in Montreal, the artist found that their previous paintings and exhibitions from their time in Tunisia had not been taken into account. This was partly due to the difficulty of bringing them along and also due to a general lack of interest in Maghrebian art among the local art community. As a newcomer, it was also challenging to convey the political reality that they had experienced, when their experiences were not well understood by others. To overcome these obstacles, the artist developed a strategy aimed at unifying Tunisia and Quebec, despite their many differences including geographical, social, and economic disparities. They broadened their perspective to include an ultra-connected, globalized space, and worked towards creating a bridge to connect these two cultural poles.

By Jessica Benjamin
Located in ALCOY/ALCOI, ES
Poem 1
Description: Oil on canvas, figurative, multi-color, gestural, modern, abstract
In this painting we see a woman staring off in a dreamlike way, surrounded and entwined with marks of abstraction. The artist describes this piece as many of her others where, “the elements of the painting are arranged in a way that evokes a feeling, like the stanzas in a poem.” This painting was featured in a series of NFT’s (available soon) and an animation depicting love during WWI.

Portrait 2 (Remembering)
Description: Oil on canvas, figurative, multi-color, gestural, modern, abstract
In this painting, Jessica Benjamin uses abstract brushstrokes and color to express the idea of remembering and question the purpose of portraiture. Through the abstraction and obscured face the little girl depicted becomes a story continually changing and never quite told.
