Daniel Enkaoua. Works

Based in Barcelona in the last decade, the French-Israeli artist Daniel Enkaoua (Meaux, 1962) has developed an intense work characterized by timelessness and spirituality. As Àlex Susanna says in his introductory essay: “Enkaoua paints as if he were the first ever to do so. […] in each of his works the world is reborn and remade – still hesitant and trembling – as occurs all too rarely in contemporary art. Seeking to affirm itself, his work has all the resonance and radiance of daybreak, of dawn’s twilight. Enkaoua has fought against a sense of having seen it all before, striving instead to be able to move towards things, and this is the source of the lifeblood coursing through his work: irrefutable proof that he has achieved his objective.”

This complete and careful monograph, in which more than one hundred works are collected, features the contributions of Alex Susanna and Grégoire Polet.
