RIJAL AT THE STROKE OF A BRUSH
Thierry MAUGER
Sitting symbolically halfway between the coast of the Red Sea and the highlands of southwestern Saudi Arabia lies the Village of Rijal. Anthropologist Thierry Mauger has brought to light a shadow of the collective imagination of this village, exploring in all its splendor the exceptional mural art practiced by women. Painter Magali Jeantelot displayed her talent by resurrecting this art and sublimating it.
The two strands, traditional and modern, look at each other, respond to each other and finally enshrine themselves in a single masterpiece: unity without uniformity.
