Nature Mortelle
NSFWNSFW invites you to the opening of 'Nature Mortelle' by Syrian multidisciplinary artist Alqumit Alhamad.
'Nature Mortelle' brings together installation and watercolors to explore the dissonance between serenity and violence. By reinterpreting the still-life genre, the exhibition contrasts familiar, tranquil compositions with elements that challenge perceptions of comfort and normalcy. Traditionally a space for celebrating abundance and beauty still-life here is used to examine the subtle, often overlooked presence of conflict in everyday life.
The exhibition opens on Friday, March 7th, and runs until March 29th, 2025.
