Sapar Contemporary is proud to present a the first solo exhibition of an important Moroccan artist Mahi Binebine in more than two decades. Binebine is a cultural figure in Morocco, equally well-known for his contribution to the literature and the visual arts. New York City was his creative home in 1990s. The artist is returning to New York with the paintings and sculptures from the recent decade and a selection of recent works on paper. Binebine's artworks trace the contours of individuality, family, history, and sociopolitical change in North Africa in ways that are once universal and particular, using the line to illustrate scenes suggesting that at any moment, we could also be subjects of this narrative.
