Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This abstract artwork features a striking black-and-white composition with expressive, gestural figures and Arabic text. The work displays a bold, frenzied style with prominent use of heavy brushstrokes and distorted, elongated forms. The central figure appears to be a winged, fantastical creature, evoking a sense of the mystical or surreal. The inclusion of Arabic script suggests a connection to Middle Eastern artistic traditions and themes. Overall, this powerful, visually arresting piece seems to explore themes of spirituality, mythology, and the human condition through an avant-garde, unconventional approach. ...

Aysha E Arar
B.1993, Palestinian

Aysha E Arar explores Palestinian stories and myths across multiple mediums—painting, drawing, poetry, video, and performance—transforming traditional narratives into vivid, contemporary expressions. Facing the challenge of depicting ongoing conflict, she develops a poetic and dreamlike visual language that conveys deep emotion and layered meaning. Her work unfolds across diverse media and supports—including paper, canvas, and walls—where spontaneous, energetic lines and colors conjure a universe populated by imaginative creatures and hybrid forms. This poetic realm blurs the boundaries between reality and fantasy, where human and mythical bodies coexist in harmonious tension. At the core of Arar’s art lies an intimate exploration of identity and resistance. She employs the power of image and voice as acts of defiance against oppression, seeking to articulate freedom’s complex meanings. Rejecting realism, Arar embraces imagination as a means to merge contradictory realities, describing her process as drawing from a world where fantasy and lived experience are inseparable. Her work invites viewers into a vibrant space of resilience, transformation, and cultural memory. ...

Sans titre
Paris

Sans titre is a gallery based in Paris. It initially operated as a project space and after three years of a nomadic existence (2016 – 2019) and numerous atypical spaces occupied (private apartments, industrial spaces, parking lots, a shipyard, a few hotel rooms, restaurants, etc.), Sans titre moved into a permanent address and embraced the gallery model. It is now located 13, rue Michel Le Comte, a few steps from the Centre Pompidou, in a former Restoration-era bar, whose facade is registered as a Historic Monument. Throughout, Sans titre works to promote international artists in the early stages of their careers. Alongside organizing exhibitions in a multidisciplinary approach, the gallery publishes fanzines, produces edition and creates events related to the represented artists. ...
