Nine paintings with layered composition and bright pops of color populate the exhibition space in a striking depiction of today\u2019s modern, image-saturated world. The exhibit breaks apart the formal elements of painting in order to recreate a simple-yet-peculiar display of everyday scenes.<br \/>  <br \/>  Takreti, who&#8217;s been living in Paris since 2004, considers this exhibition to be the kickoff of a new phase in his artistic career, one in which he is experimenting with new elements of expression while also introducing a stark shade of sarcasm. \u201cMy last couple of exhibitions were tough and gloomy given all the turmoil in my country. The turmoil is still there today, but I found a way to make something positive out of it and I encourage everyone else to do so. A laugh can make a difference,\u201d Takreti explained.<br \/>  <br \/>  In a work titled <i>Mis en Plis<\/i>, a hollow figure outlined by women&#8217;s clothing sits under a sleek salon hair dryer chair. In <i>Marilyn<\/i>, the iconic American sex symbol yields her white dress to the powers of the wind as seen in \u201cThe Seven Year Itch.&#8221; A half-human, half stereo-speaker poses alongside outdated electronics in <i>220 Volts<\/i>, and a self-portrait of the artist comfortably rocking a vintage armchair in <i>A l\u2019aise<\/i> offers a dazzling representation of modern absurdity.<br \/>  <br \/>  \u201cThe concept has both an artistic dimension and a psychological dimension,\u201d Khaled Takreti told Beirut.com. \u201cTechnique-wise, I used Acrylics alone to create four different graffiti-like textures in my work, mainly by applying black acrylic paint directly to the white canvas which I purposely left visible in a \u201cfacile-difficile\u201d approach. Psychologically, I used the minimum to convey the maximum, the risk was to say the least possible but still understand all,\u201d he explained.<br \/>  <br \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/35849-1.png\"><br \/>  (<i>J&#8217;ai Faim, by Khaled Takreti<\/i>)<br \/>  <br \/>  When asked about his favorite piece from LOL, Takreti points to <i>220 Volts<\/i>, which he calls the &#8220;mother artwork.&#8221; He also pointed to <i>Marilyn<\/i>, which he describes as \u201cla cr\u00e8me\u201d of the exhibition. It was the last artwork he completed after he flew in from Paris just to paint it on the exhibition&#8217;s ground. \u201cI\u2019ve had the Marilyn tableau in mind for over two years, but I didn\u2019t feel ready to get along with the idea until I came back from Paris last month. I love immortal figures such as Marilyn Monroe and Madonna. Icons are not born by accident, I would love to reach that in my career someday,\u201d he told Beirut.com.<br \/>  <br \/>  LOL most importantly marks Takreti\u2019s salient detachment from the introspective family portraits for which he was best known over the last 20 years of his career. \u201cI\u2019ve been absorbed in the concept of family for so long until one day I decided to disconnect from my personal issues and felt totally free, which allowed me to venture into new psychological themes and laugh at the world\u2019s problems,\u201d he said. <br \/>  <br \/>  Three out of the nine artworks featured in LOL are self-portraits. \u201cI never dared paint myself until very recently,&#8221; Takreti told Beirut.com. &#8220;But now I\u2019m rather thrilled to see how my own image will come out. I moved from a single self-portrait last exhibition to three this time,\u201d he said.<br \/>  <br \/>  LOL remains on exhibit at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/l\/858\" target=\"_new\"
