Abderrahman Rahoule | Artist

Abderrahman Rahoule – Untitled, 1980

Abderrahman Rahoule was born in Casablanca in 1944. He began his artistic training in 1962 at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Casablanca, before moving to Paris to study at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Industriels et des Métiers d'Art, then the Académie Populaire des Arts.

An active member of the Casablanca School Group, Rahoule was also an informed witness to the birth of contemporary Moroccan art in the 1960s. A teacher and then director of the Casablanca School of Fine Arts, the artist left his mark on many generations of artists.

Both a painter, ceramist and a sculptor, Abderrahman Rahoule creates anthropomorphic forms, often entwined, inspired by the architecture of Casablanca.
