Fine Pixels. The artist manipulates different layers of significations by investigating multiple questions related to language, communication.
Galerie Mark Hachem (Beirut) is proud to present “FINE PIXELS” by Lebanese
artist RICARDO MBARKHO. The exhibition opens on Tuesday, 15 of May 2012
and will run until Tuesday, 29 of May 2012.
The exhibition will showcase Ricardo Mbarkho’s images: The artist
manipulates different layers of significations by investigating multiple
questions related to language, communication, cultural industries, history
of art as well as the visual representation within the sociopolitical
sphere. Mbarkho’s images are made from texts. The artist uses the computer
as a tool to transcend texts into images; the text's binary codes, those
simple digits that computers use to stock information, are transposed into
a unique corresponding visual. By this creative process, the shapes and
colors of Ricardo Mbarkho’s art are constantly unveiling new facets of the
initial texts.
Ricardo Mbarkho’s work stems from the vibrant scene of today’s global
digital art practices. Mbarkho divulges alternative readings to issues
pertaining to his local cultural and sociopolitical environments, where
the latter’s significance and information are embodied and channeled
through the artist’s own flux.
Galerie Mark Hachem invites the public to share the artist’s doubts and
findings through Ricardo Mbarkho’s solo show, “Fine Pixels”.
