Rituals of Isolation by Oussama Baalbaki

In these works, the painter’s eye recedes from the outer visual extent to the chamber’s setting. There, he observes his existence, in the same way he observes his “model”, in an implied psychic and an intellectual framework, using plastic means, derived from the monochromatic expressionist realism sensibility.

Works that pair features of Painting with features of Installation, to come up with a state of plastic synthesis deeply penetrating into climates of mystification and radiant ambiguity.
