Noutchy dans la rue 2020

Aboudia made Noutchy dans la rue, and right away I can see he’s built this piece up with layers and layers of paint—yellows, reds, blues, all wrestling with each other. The surface is alive with marks, like a conversation happening right before my eyes. I imagine Aboudia, brush in hand, diving into this street scene. What’s he feeling, what’s he seeing? The way those colours clash and blend, it feels like a raw, unfiltered expression. There’s a real physicality to it. Look at how the paint is thick in some places, almost like he's carving into it, and thin in others, letting the canvas breathe. See that red swirl over there? That's a feeling, right there. It reminds me of other artists, like Basquiat, who aren’t afraid to throw everything onto the canvas and let the chaos speak. We are all in this ongoing exchange, building on each other, daring each other to push further. Painting at its best isn’t about answers, but about creating a space where questions can live and breathe.
