Méduse Contemporaine, 2018

Following the growing media coverage of Europe’s increasing number of refugees, Nour-Eddine Jarram has focused on depicting the experiences refugees and the immigrant community in western society. Here we see a group of refugees trying to get on a small boat that is already packed with people. Below on the right the back and the arm of two men lead you into the scene which is even more dramatized by the child that is hoisted aboard. The title Méduse Contemporaine refers to Géricault's famous painting The Raft of the Medusa, which in its day focused on the contemporary drama of the survivors of the sunk frigat Medusa.
