Law Keeper

oil on canvas - 2012 - 50cm x 50cm - (available, $800 USD).

He was sitting on the same bench as “Record Keeper” … like good and bad consciences on a cartoon shoulder. He had to be Law Keeper as the most solid of all the Keepers of Chaouen who sit around the edges of Uta Hammam Square. A veritable human representation of the scales of justice with the confident reliability of one who watches over the Blue City.

The Keepers of Chefchaouen, in my imagination, represent the countless old men who sit around the edges of Uta Hammam square in the center of the “City of the Blue Pearl” of Morocco.
