THE TURN, ANAS ALBRAEHE

Art

Du 19/01/2024 à 17:00 jusqu'au 17/02/2024 à 17:00

As if speaking directly from the sleeping state, Albraehe drives us towards the world of dreams, a place in which the familiar is made uncanny, forms before us morphing as we look. As the seeking eye moves over the canvas, body becomes mountain, head, then stone, and the viewer is drawn to search out a foothold in the spaces created between one form and another, and in turn between waking life and sleep. 

 

The paintings of Albraehe take the viewer into intimate moments, both disorienting and haunting, reminders of the power of unknowing, a reality of existence often forgotten or underplayed. Here, such spaces of unknowing, the uncanny, take center stage. 

 

What is a dream but a place not to be hidden. 

What is a place but a dream.
