JACQUELINE HUMPHRIES in Fresh Flowers

Aïshti Foundation, Lebanon
Ongoing

Flesh Flowers assembles the work of over seventy artists and more than two hundred pieces from the Tony and Elham Salamé Collection.

The works in the exhibition combine abstraction and figuration to complicate relationships between form and content, medium and meaning, subjectivity and otherness. In an era saturated with digital images and disembodied data, these artists simultaneously reassert and question the physical materiality of painting. Each artist approaches the canvas as a site of intense negotiation: between the raw immediacy of the gestural mark and the emergence of recognizable forms; between the tangible presence of the body and its fractured representation in a hyper-mediated society. Screens, pixels, vectors, and networks intersect with anatomies, stains, traces, and fluids in an intense conflation of the carnal with the digital.
