Mohammed Sami: Vicious Circles
‘Vicious Circles’ continues Mohammed Sami’s study of internal and external
spaces, where state-led and state-sanctioned violence appears as an unresolvable aspect of everyday life, the quotidian. Across nine new mixed-media works on linen, Sami builds dense atmospheres that convey troubling absences and a sense of groundlessness about a world that may or may not have been: a curtain tie resembles a tightened noose; a lipstick becomes bullet casing; a pile of leaves could be amputated hands. Into this vertigo of associations, Sami
intensifies affect to create a sense of estrangement, where the blueness of a sky,
or the colour of falling phosphorus is heightened to reveal it as something
outside us – something alarmingly strange and other. As he states: ‘There is
light, there is shadow; my paintings are a device to translate something to you’.
Modern Art a le plaisir d’annoncer une exposition personnelle consacrée aux nouvelles œuvres de Mohammed Sami. Il s’agit de la deuxième exposition personnelle de Sami organisée par la galerie, et de sa première à Paris.
