RACHID KHIMOUNE

Born in 1953 in Decazeville, France. Lives and works in Paris, France.

Rachid Khimoune graduated from the School of Art of Paris in 1974; he initially started to work with painting before choosing sculpture. In 1980 he won the first prize of the « Foundation of France ».
Being the recipient of numerous prestigious awards and an extensive oeuvre, Rachid Khimoune has been exhibiting since 1975 and his work can be found in several museums, and public and private collections.
Pierre Restany, art critic, wrote in 1995:
“The mind took of all the potential visual from oral possibilities with no limits, and that eclecticism of Life is the expression of, without any sort of deceitful action, the universality of a language from personal shorthand of instinct… To see what we can’t see anymore, to look from another eye, in the magic and the dream » it is what makes all the poetry of his art.”
