Pierre LACHKAR, born in 1945 in Fes, Morocco. Lives in Toulouse. Grand Prix des artistes méridionaux, Gold Medal 1991. “Women: Desires,” Oil on canvas, 80 x 100 cm. Pierre LACHKAR catalog offered with the painting. Ed. Books on Demand GmbH 2018, €35. Our painting appears on page 75 with the note: “Painting is often an approach to nudity, to unveiling, but Pierre Lachkar does not give in to this generality. Nudity in his work could appear with the blood of trees. A suggestion of a never-ending unveiling. These young naked women resemble figurines, and their nudity is covered by a powerful surrounding bricolage: the sea, boats, a bedroom, a fountain, a golf club, a bicycle, etc. The one who appears the most naked, the white one, veils her gaze, calling for our modesty.”
