Fouad Bellamine's haunting minimalist images of cuboid structures with hemispherical domes recall the simple tombs of holy men, known as marabouts found throughout Morocco. Born and brought up in the ancient city of Fez, Fouad Bellamine's work combines the abstraction of colour field artists with spirituality and simplicity.
