Manuel Archain

26 11 2014

Manuel Archain has a very funny sense of humor. Reminds me of a young Woody Allen. He takes a very simple idea and blows it up. Making it into a story. The logical extension of absurdity.

Suhair Sibai

26 11 2014

Out of grunge and patterned backgrounds these beautiful portraits rise.

Suhair sets out to examine who we are as an individual and how we arrived at our present predicament. To that purpose, she uses the female form as her favorite medium. By using emotionally charged colours Suhair consciously creates a contrast with the melancholic narratives meant to create alienation with the viewer. The large size of her works is aimed at involving the viewers and let them experience something unique by combining the emotional elements in her work with their own bias. Put differently, large canvases are ‘in your face’ canvases: you are forced to reflect, in such a way that your bias will clash with her emotions.
