Artist Bio

Born in Rabat, Morocco, Hedi El Kholti moved to Los Angeles in 1992, working in the film industry for several years before earning a BFA degree at Art Center College of Design. Over the years he developed an intimate collage practice that materialized in a series of books and smaller fanzines. Sometimes glossy, sometimes Xeroxed, the collages draw content from various eras and include movie stills, book covers, and images from art publications and gay magazines. Part pop culture time capsule, part unfettered stream of consciousness, these works are deeply personal and autobiographical. Through his colorful and eclectic compositions, El Kholti reflects on insecurities regarding queerness, fear of illness and virality, and feelings of alienation from his provenance.

Hedi El Kholti has compiled a new folio of his esoteric collaged works, bound into the catalogue for Made in L.A. 2020, and a new double-sided poster, presented as a takeaway stack in the galleries of the Hammer Museum and The Huntington.

In Made in L.A. 2020: a version, the artist's work is present in two institutions, across Los Angeles.
