Kais Salman: Cities

12 April - 30 May 2018

Ayyam Gallery Beirut is pleased to announce Cities presenting Kais Salman’s newest paintings.

 

In his older works, Kais Salman utilises satire to subvert the normalisation of greed, vanity, and ideological extremism that is rapidly defining our era. Seeking to confront and exorcise sociocultural manifestations of such depravity, Salman taps into ugliness and abjection through intentionally hyperbolised imagery accentuated by punches of colour and aestheticised forms. In his latest series, the artist takes these forms and explores their abstraction, in search of new compositions.
