HAJJAJ Hassan (b. 1961, Morocco), "Can't come in", 2016. Photographic print numbered 1/5, signed and dated on the back, framed, 53 x 64cm. (frame as part of the work) Born in 1961 in Larache, Morocco, self-taught artist and follower of multiculturalism Hassan Hajjaj is considered the pioneer of Moroccan pop-art. Flashy colours, kitschy prints and playful settings form his universe of Eastern and Western influence. His aligned cans earned him the nickname "King of Pop Art". Exhibited worldwide, the Maison Européenne de la Photographie devoted a retrospective to him in 2019, and the remarkable partnership with R.A.T.P gave him exceptional visibility. A major artist well known to collectors.
