Mark Hachem Gallery is proud to present the solo exhibition of artist Yaser Safi.
The exhibition will feature paintings, etchings and sculptures.
The universe of Yaser Safi has duality: Although his colorful characters seem childish and sometimes sarcastic, underneath lies a deeper and darker scenery. Bodies scattered across the canvas float next to weapons that surge out of nowhere. Free from gravity, these puppets hide a certain violence under their light appearance.
Transported onto his etchings, this universe becomes somber. Lacking color, these dislocated and dismembered characters take a more dramatic turn. Echoing the flatness of the canvases, the sculptures give movement to the characters chiseled in a rough manner, diving again into a world with no gravity.
