Djabril Boukhenaïssi, the must-see artist in Arles, paints the disappearance of the night.
"At 31 years old, Djabril Boukhenaïssi, with two exhibitions in Arles* and winner of the 2023 Art and Environment Prize organized by Lee Ufan Arles and Guerlain, is the rising artist. […] Nourished by philosophy and literature, he revisits the night in engravings with fantastical accents and spectral paintings of the Alyscamps necropolis, with moths at their core, haunting the darkness with their enigmatic and mysterious presence."
