DESCRIPTION:Sep 22\, 2026 - Apr 2\, 2027\nHassan Hajjaj’s pop portraits a
 re not just snapshots of the cultural zeitgeist but homages to his friends
  and heritage. Born in Larache\, Morocco\, Hajjaj moved to London at 12\, 
 where his adolescence was shaped by the city’s vibrant reggae and club c
 ulture. In 1989\, he bought a camera from a friend and was hooked. Hajjaj 
 subverts traditional Moroccan stereotypes\, blending his Arabic roots and 
 his contemporary multicultural British upbringing. His maximalist portrait
 s have earned him the nickname “Andy Wahlou.” This show in Paris highl
 ights Hajjaj’s diasporic journey and features his portraits of global ar
 tists like Billie Eilish and the Indigenous Gnawan musician Maâlem Baboho
 t. “Museums\, galleries\, ‘culture’ were never in my comfort zone\,
 ” Hajjah has said. “Now\, after 30 years\, it’s great that I can hav
 e my friends hanging with me in the museum and people getting high on it.
 ”
