Karim Boumjimar’s painterly motifs fluidly, often erotically, spill from one figure to another: think animals, public personas, the artist’s friends, mythological creatures. Stemming from an intuitive, “deconditioned,” or unhinged bodily flow of experiments, his drawings create hallucinating worlds transcending verbal and societal categorization. Toying with historical, cultural figures, Boumjimar’s solo exhibition at O—Overgaden will include a new set of giant vases alongside an all-encompassing site-specific mural, letting the artist’s literally fabulous, transgressive, and polyamorous universe take over the institution’s white walls.

Karim Boumjimar (b. 1998, ES) is a Copenhagen-based visual artist and member of the performance collective Young Boy Dancing Group. Boumjimar is graduating from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Spring 2025 and has exhibited and performed at venues including TINA Gallery, London (2025); Liljevalchs, Stockholm (2025); O Days Festival, Copenhagen (2024); Centre d’Art La Panera, Lleida (2023), ARIEL - Feminisms in the Aesthetics & Dag H 42, Copenhagen (2023); and Kunstverein, Hamburg (2021).
