Mohamed Melehi ( 1936 - 2020) was a leading figure in Arab abstract art and one of the original founders of the Casablanca Art School (together with Farid Belkahia and Mohamed Chabaa) an avant-garde group that radically questioned cosmopolitan abstraction and art pedagogy within the context of colonial powers and influences.
His work resists the East/West divide resulting in a dialogue between Moroccan traditional and popular craft, whilst also connecting to the Hard Edge painters of the 1960s.
