Kahina Loumi develops an optimistic painting that questions the language of abstraction and the relationship to space. A painting where the mind feels free, where the feelings are happy. Aerial surfaces, soft colors, aquatic and transparent tones make up this series of paintings with a joyful melody and singular shapes, which in the history of painting we call « shape canvas ». Literally « formed frame », a cut out, drawn picture which transforms the frame into an element of the picture, blurring the line between outside and inside. The whole works like a musical score, a colourful rhytm with tight and refined lines that float in space like windows of paintings open on the outside, in a malicious serenity.
"I often think of the lights of the south, reminiscent of a childhood spent on the Mediterranean seaside, in a white city, where the sky meets the sea to form an all-powerful blue.”
