Guillaume
Azoulay, a self-taught artist, was born in Casablanca, Morocco in 1949.
His parents settled in Paris when Azoulay was ten and by the age of
thirteen, he was sketching and selling his drawings on the streets and
planning his career as an artist. As Azoulay met people from various
parts of the world, his interest in traveling grew, and when he was
fourteen he left home and hitchhiked across Europe and the Middle East.
His desire to see and be part of the life, history and beauty of the
world took him from Copenhagen to Rome, from Lisbon to Jerusalem.
Indeed, Azoulay made the world his university.
The brilliance
of Azoulay’s art centers on his ability to convey a purity of individual
lines intricately joined to create an overpowering illusion of fluid
motion and life. Line is the key element of design in Azoulay’s artwork.
Often, Azoulay will create an entire artwork without ever lifting pen
from paper, using a single, unbroken line. It is through his lines that
Azoulay creates balance, harmony, contrast, depth and movement in each
one of his compositions.
Guillaume Azoulay is self-taught, and
his art, far outside any boundaries that contain more pedestrian styles
and techniques, transcends the faddish and the pretentious. His style is
so unique that it is instantly recognized and unmistakably his.
Horses, dancers and figures are treated as graphic landscapes. Hooves,
heads, manes and limbs are so many hills and valleys. Shaded glades are
evoked by the manipulation of parallel lines theatrically meandering,
running close at times then separating to mimic the topography of some
lost geography. His colors are the rainbow-like refraction of light
after a downpour as they pick up the threads of his linear tale and
weave them into a solid cloth.
Internationally appreciated and
collected, his work adds an important dimension to any art collection.
Accolades and decades of fame notwithstanding, Guillaume Azoulay still
refers to himself as an "artisan.”
