Kesh Angels, 2010

The work of Moroccan-born, London-based pop artist Hassan Hajjaj continually delights with its vibrant blend of the traditional and the modern. In Kesh Angels, his NYC exhibition debut that ran at the Taymour Grahne Gallery in 2014, the self-taught photographer captures the vibrant street culture of Morocco and pays tribute to the biker culture of the young women of Marrakesh. For more from Hajjah, see his series of Moroccan biker Barbie dolls.
