Hachem Projects: presents ‘A YOUNG CHILDISH
RIOT’ by renowned Syrian
artist Yaser Safi. The much-anticipated exhibition will be unveiled on Tuesday 10 April 2012, 6pm until 9pm and will run until the
24th of April 2012.
The exhibition will
showcase Yaser Safi’s most recent paintings reflecting an enigma, which
at times needs to be deciphered. Paintings exemplify an unconventional yet
remarkable approach to depicting the human form. People, Icons and figures are
portrayed in what looks like child-like paintings, or naive etchings; this is
in fact what distinguishes Yaser Safi’s artworks. With intuitive childish
freedom the artist drops the technical rules and formal decorations. He
dislikes polishing suaveness, academic courtesy, and the virtue of paintings he
will not consent to any topographic displacement, and thus covey’s a
crucial contentment to the viewer.
Yaser’s
expressive essence is based on flying and floating creatures, orbiting from the
surface of the canvas, levitating in an astral ‘conscientious’ void
without horizon, free from gravity. Painting’s converted into a new
hallucinatory anatomic logic, original and unique.
Some of the painting’s
focus on puritanical platonic love; Bodies suffer from embrace and separation,
soaring in a celestial ascending in an upper ethereal worlds, feeling from
death and sins of the lower world in a space with no shackles.
Yaser’s painting’s
radiate with gladness and pulsate with sadness simultaneously, oscillating
between mature, meditative tranquility and young childish riot. Yaser prefers
the virgin lines and colors, with no revision or rectification, therefore he is
the artist least expected to stumble over alienation and stereotypes.
