LONDON - The Directors of Marlborough Fine Art are delighted to announce the second exhibition in London of the latest work by Daniel Enkaoua. On exhibition 15 March until 5 April, 2007.

The German writer George Holländer writes about several of Enkaoua’s paintings: one is of a child who stands open-mouthed - an instant is captured, could the child be in mid song, or expressing amazement, one cannot be sure. The moment is eternal, of pure memory.

These are the moments we really will remember, not the immobile or fluent images that photography has substituted for our living memory. Maybe there is also a hint of how time seemed to pass more slowly as a child.  The open-mouthed child stands in a landscape of light and color that rolls all possible landscapes into one primal wall where tomorrow and yesterday are one. This describes childhood, an actual child, the painter’s child.

Another painting is of a woman standing alone, facing left, on a very big canvas, but not big enough to comprise her field of vision. Now she has lifted her arms and stretched them out before her. Why? The painter holds on to this moment.  He will impress it on our memory.

There is a painting of a mother and child who sit apart, the girl sits facing the viewers, only the audience will hear her thoughts, a soliloquy, and the mother, on the left, faces her. The painting creates a stage, perhaps by the way it involves no other person but those two, except of course the painter who is also the father. All the disturbing intimacy of theatre is present

No sentimentality is clinging to Daniel Enkaoua’s paintings, nor can they be read as snapshots of a sentimental journey. It has a life of its own, without family ties.

The painter is interested in light and color; that is his craft. His art predicts other solutions, different problems, but he does not need them now. The justification of his work is there. It needs no precedence, no prior judgment to be understood.
