Residency in Paris 2023: A Scented Journey with Younes Khourassani

In 2023, Younes Khourassani embarked on a unique artistic residency in Paris, blending his mastery of visual art with the world of fragrance. This project, in collaboration with a renowned perfume brand, explores the intersection of color, form, and scent. Khourassani’s vision for this residency was to create artworks that reflect the complexity of emotions that perfumes evoke, visualizing their invisible allure through vibrant, dynamic forms.

During this residency, Khourassani worked closely with perfumers to understand the craftsmanship behind each fragrance. He used this inspiration to create sculptures that embody the essence of scent — capturing the movement, layers, and subtle shifts within a single note of perfume. These pieces are not just visual; they communicate the ephemeral beauty of fragrance.

Images from the residency:

The vibrant gradients of colors in Khourassani’s work reflect the multi-layered experience of smelling a perfume.
Each piece is carefully crafted, much like the precision involved in perfume making, where every layer builds upon the other to create a harmonious whole.
Hands-on craftsmanship is central to both the art of fragrance and Khourassani’s process, making this residency a true fusion of two delicate forms of art.
The final art pieces mirror the fluidity and movement of scent, as seen in the cascading colors and flowing lines of his sculptures.

Wooden Language At Gallery Art L’Atelier 21

Younes Khourassani’s "Langue de Bois" at Gallery Art L'Atelier 21

The “Langue de Bois” exhibition at Galerie d’art L’Atelier 21 brought the brilliant Moroccan artist Younes Khourassani into the spotlight once again, showcasing his dynamic and evocative works. The title, which translates to “Wooden Language,” plays on the idea of ambiguity and subtlety in communication—a fitting metaphor for the depth and complexity of Khourassani’s art.

The Language of Material and Form

Khourassani’s mastery of materials is at the heart of this collection, where he weaves together elements like wood, metal, and rust to create textured and layered compositions. Each piece in the exhibition seems to speak its own language, not in words but through form, texture, and contrast. The raw materials are transformed into expressive, almost sculptural paintings, embodying themes of history, transformation, and the passage of time.

The recurring motif of musical instruments, particularly the violin, is a striking element in the series. These instruments, often fragmented or abstracted, seem to suggest a lost harmony or a forgotten melody, evoking feelings of nostalgia and longing. The way Khourassani manipulates the material—melding wood with metal, intertwining rust with vibrant color—creates a powerful contrast that invites deep reflection from the viewer.

A Journey Through Rust and Renewal

Khourassani’s use of rust as a key material in his art is symbolic of decay and renewal. In the same way that rust transforms metal, Khourassani’s works transform the traditional idea of painting. The rusted surfaces are not merely signs of deterioration; they represent the passage of time and the beauty that can be found in the imperfections of age.

The piece that stands out most is an imposing work that combines a rusted violin with abstract figures emerging from a textured background. The burnt red and orange hues blend with the natural rust, giving the piece an organic, yet hauntingly beautiful feel. It’s a reflection of the duality that exists within Khourassani’s work—the interplay of destruction and creation, decay and renewal.

Connecting with the Audience

During the exhibition’s opening night, Khourassani was present to interact with attendees, discussing the inspiration behind his works and the process of merging different materials to create something deeply meaningful. The artist’s down-to-earth nature, combined with his philosophical outlook, resonated with the audience, who were intrigued by the complexity and emotional depth of his work.

Khourassani explained, “Wood and rust are like language—they evolve, they carry history, and sometimes, they hide meaning. My work explores how these materials can tell stories without using words.” His unique perspective on materials as carriers of memory and emotion brought a new layer of understanding to those who viewed the exhibition.

A Memorable Showcase at Galerie L’Atelier 21

“Langue de Bois” was a triumph for Younes Khourassani, solidifying his reputation as an artist who pushes the boundaries of material and form. The Galerie d’art L’Atelier 21, known for its innovative curation, was the perfect setting for this exhibition, as the intimate space allowed visitors to fully immerse themselves in the textures and layers of each piece.

As the exhibition came to a close, it left a lasting impression on all who attended. Khourassani’s ability to communicate complex themes through his use of materials and abstract forms made “Langue de Bois” a thought-provoking and emotionally charged experience.
