Yassir Amazine

1975, Belgium

As a teenager, Yassir Amazine attended the classes of Luc Mondry and Nicole Babilas at La Clairière, a school for disabled people
His ball-point drawings, scribbled with fervour and energy, bear relation to graffiti. The paper is invaded on both sides with pen-strokes scratched as if under a compulsion. From this graphical chaos emerge images of aeroplanes, mosques, houses...

Amazine has finished his drawing, and has stopped singing. The drawing begins its own life; it exists in its own right, nourished by Amazine.
