Miloud Labied Moroccan , 1939-2008

A self-taught Moroccan painter, Miloud Labied was born in 1939 in Kalât Sraghna and died in 2008. Some initially saw him as naive, indifferently aligning him with the fate and productions of his mother Radia Bent Lhoucine. Being in a permanent quest, Miloud Labied never satisfied himself with a single style or a stable and immutable expression. It is the margins to be discovered, the borders to be transgressed, the limits to be crossed that always seem to seduce and draw towards them an artist always ready to go and meet elsewhere. His career as a painter began in the 1960s. At the time, in his twenties, his meeting with Jacqueline Brodskis, who supervised the painting workshop of the Ministry of Youth and Sports in Morocco, was decisive for his professional future. Known for his paintings, he also counts sculpture and photography among his artistic experiences. Since his first exhibition at the Oudayas Museum in Rabat in 1958, he has participated in several exhibitions, both in Morocco and abroad.
