Collector’s Note
"Blue Hour in Rabat" is a striking departure from Halouane’s traditional sepia series. In this work, the artist utilizes a monochromatic blue palette to capture the quiet transition of dusk in the medina. The cool tones evoke the stillness of the Atlantic evening, highlighting the iconic domed architecture and the soaring minaret against a fading sky.
Figures in traditional robes move through the sun-bleached plaza, their forms casting deep, indigo shadows that anchor the composition. This piece perfectly balances the bustling history of Rabat with a modern, serene aesthetic, making it an ideal focal point for contemporary interiors.
