Altitudes by Joe Kesrouani

Ginette Concept Store is hosting a exhibition for the works of Joe Kesrouani entitled, Altitudes.

About the artist:

Born in Beirut, Lebanon, in 1968, Joe Kesrouani studied architecture in Paris and is self taught in painting and photography.

Kesrouani started taking pictures in the mid-1980s, at the age of fourteen. His dramatic, high-contrast black-and-white photographs are charged with confident sexuality, and the subjects of his portraits loom large on his prints with visceral, extroverted expressions that take patience, intimacy, and will to elicit.
Kesrouani’s paintings blend abstraction and figuration to convey more introverted, complex, emotionally probing narratives.

In the construction of images, Kesrouani’s architectural training plays into both his photographs and paintings.
