Renowned for his dynamic fusion of contemporary portraiture, fashion, and pop culture, Hajjaj brings his signature aesthetic to a striking series that turns its focus to an unexpected yet evocative subject: legs and feet. With this series, Hajjaj continues his exploration of identity, migration, and cultural hybridity. The exhibition introduces nine new portraits of legs adorned in vibrantly mismatched textiles, patterned socks, and boldly colored footwear, forming a visual symphony of textures and tones. Framed using his signature materials—vividly colored plastic mats and repurposed, hand-painted tires—these compositions transform the lower half of the body into a striking symbol of movement, displacement, and resilience. These unconventional materials not only enhance the visual dynamism of the works but also reinforce Hajjaj’s deep engagement with upcycling and the aesthetics of global street culture.

“In the olden days,” Hajjaj reflects, “people walked everywhere… your grandparents would tell you stories about how when they went to Algiers, it took them three months walking.” The imagery in Legs pays tribute to this history of physical journeys while also speaking to the modern experience of global nomads—individuals whose lives are shaped by the intersections of cultures, traditions, and geographies.

______

Connu pour son mélange vibrant de portrait contemporain, de mode et de culture pop, Hajjaj apporte ici son style unique à une série remarquable qui s’intéresse à un sujet aussi surprenant que parlant : les jambes et les pieds.À travers ces nouvelles œuvres, l’artiste poursuit son exploration des notions d’identité, de migration et d’hybridité culturelle. Chaque portrait met en scène des jambes vêtues de textiles aux motifs contrastés, de chaussettes chamarrées et de souliers aux couleurs vives orchestrant un jeu subtil de textures et de nuances. Fidèle à son approche artistique, Hajjaj encadre ses œuvres de nattes en plastique aux teintes vives et de pneus recyclés peints à la main. Ces matériaux singuliers, renforcent l’évocation du mouvement et du voyage, tout en traduisant l'attachement de l'artiste aux pratiques de réemploi et à une esthétique puisant dans l’imaginaire de la culture urbaine.

« Autrefois, les gens marchaient partout », raconte Hajjaj. « Nos grands-parents nous disaient que pour aller à Alger, il leur fallait trois mois de marche. » À travers Legs, l’artiste rend hommage à ces récits de voyage et aux chemins parcourus, tout en faisant écho aux réalités des nomades contemporains, dans un monde globalisé, où les vies se tissent entre plusieurs territoires, cultures et traditions.
