Walid El Masri

7 - 19 June 2008

Walid El Masri spends his time exploring the notion of 'chairs'. He slowly builds up his paintings from a blank canvas to a meaningful entity that captures the moment.

 

The simplicity of the subject enables him explore the more elusive meaning of existence. However, he never draws his chairs from any one chair in life; the form already exists in his head and heart, and emotions become the true subject of the work.
