Hassan HAJJAJ

He is from Larache a small town in northern Morocco , Lives and works in London.
In his work, Hassan Hajjaj playfully applies the nu-technologies to redefine his imagery that pervaded his childhood, from match boxes and paint cans to 'Coca-Cola' ads.
A restless spirit, Hassan has chosen his imagery intuitively and ingeniously. The concepts he employs are seductively witty and playful while having a serious edge. Clearly a child of the pop art generation - his working methods encompass so man techniques and fields - he engages personally & intensively in the time consuming process of designing and producing furniture (tables, lamps, stools, poufs), clothes (from customised patrol attendants overalls to babouches, from funky-ed djellabahs to hats), photography (the youth of the medina a never ending source of inspiration, as well as photo-reportages commissioned by several magazines), interior design incidentally dubbed 'Marrakithch' by the French press (Mourad Mazouz - of the Sketch fame - Parisian bar aptly named 'Andy Wahloo') and , last but not least, painting and printed canvas (always in a limited numbered edition). The concept remains the same, only the medium changes. All is expertly crafted and the dishes out colourful humour.
