Écho d'une mandole qui revient de loin

This work belongs to “Alger”, Walid Tighiouart's first solo exhibition, shown at the Ahmed and Rabah Asselah Cultural Foundation in Algiers from 25 January to 22 February 2025: a tribute to his hometown, the Casbah, women in the haïk, chaâbi music and the sea.

Walid Tighiouart, known as TiG, is a self-taught Algerian painter born in Algiers in 1994. His paintings build Algeria's cities, villages and people out of geometric fragments, often triangles.
