Magid Ajjane was born in Hamburg in 1978, where he lives and works. Since 2002, Ajjane has been a member of the artist collective "Die Schlumper." His detailed etchings and drawings, created with colored pencils and felt-tip pens, have an ornamental quality; in some of them, figures or architectural elements can be found, which are worked into grids and structures. Another frequently used technique of Ajjane’s is painting over found objects from magazines and books.
„Die Schlumper“ is a group of artists, with differing handicaps and individual artistic attitudes, is celebrated internationally. Self-determination and free artistic activity are the group’s basic principles. The German name “Die Schlumper” comes from the name of the Hamburg street “Beim Schlump” where the artists’ first studio was located.
