October Gallery, London, UK. 8th March, 2024. Celestial Blue is a solo exhibition of new works by the renowned Algerian artist Rachid Koraïchi (photograph). Beginning from the intricate tracery of Arabic writing, often in reverse or mirror script, Koraïchi deploys symbols, numbers and ciphers drawn from a variety of languages and cultural traditions. Running from 7 Mar-13 Apr, the exhibition includes canvas works interspersed with statuesque steel sculptures, in his characteristically figurative forms. The canvases are inspired by the nasibs that the 12th century Sufi mystic and writer, Ibn 'Arabi, set down in his book of love poems, The Interpreter of Desires (1215). Each large, square canvas presents an original design produced in white on an indigo blue ground that improvises upon one of the original poems. Image: Les ailes bleues des Anges (11).
