Farah Atassi

Galerie Xippas, Paris

A group of never-before-seen canvases that she produced in New York while at the ISCP residency


sintesi del comunicato stampa

Atassi's early paintings of interiors (2008-2011) invited us into ghostly spaces, which were for the most part reproductions of Soviet-era collective homes. However, her 2012 work Workshop marks a turning point, and her recent works confirm this new direction. Modernism persists in these paintings not in the form of ruins or disenchantment, but as a celebration. For her second solo exhibition at the Xippas Gallery, Farah Atassi displays a group of never-before-seen canvases that she produced in New York while at the ISCP residency. In these works, she confronts modernism with a rival aesthetic: German Expressionism and folkloric ornament. Atassi uses a grid on the canvases to construct an all-over pattern: a cardinal element of modernism. Opening: Saturday, September 7, 3pm. From October 15, the exhibition will be presented in the gallery's showroom, with a evening viewing Thursday, October 24 until 10pm.
