The hunt
Canvas 40 x 40 cm, mixed media (spray paint, Posca markers, stencil), June 2024
In The Hunt , Mounya Kecha transports us to a graphic and symbolic universe where vibrant colors and clean lines intertwine to tell a story. With a bold composition, dominated by swathes of coral pink, dazzling turquoise, and sunny orange, the artist evokes a world that is both playful and unsettling.
At the center, an imposing black silhouette—that of an orca—emerges like a quiet force in a stylized ocean. The orange fins surrounding it, almost menacing, evoke a palpable tension, that of predation or perhaps survival.
Inspired by cinema and childhood stories, this work awakens memories of adventures and imaginary battles against "bad guys." By blending contemporary techniques such as stenciling and the precise lines of Posca markers, Mounya Kecha creates a striking visual language, somewhere between illustration and abstraction.
The hunt is a unique and vibrant piece, ideal for capturing attention and prompting reflection on the strength and fragility of nature.
