Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary artwork features a striking juxtaposition of two distinct visual elements. The left panel depicts a close-up portrait of a man with a prominent beard and headdress, rendered in a vibrant, almost hyperrealistic style. The subject's intense gaze and the intricate details of his attire command the viewer's attention. In contrast, the right panel presents a more abstract, textured composition with fragments of tribal patterns and symbols, hinting at the subject's cultural heritage and spiritual connections. The artist's skillful blending of realism and abstraction conveys a sense of duality, inviting the viewer to explore the intersection of individual identity and collective cultural traditions. ...

Rayan Yasmineh freely appropriates the codes of art history, consciously fluctuating between the perpetuation of tradition and the breach of conventions. In his portraits he combines Middle Eastern culture, mythologies and iconography with contemporary Western identities. His paintings bring together a profusion of ornamental details and shimmering colors with a masterful construction of lines and planes. By introducing anachronistic, contemporary and everyday life references among the profusion of ornamental details of Oriental heritage, he intertwines techniques and representations of supposedly opposite worlds ...

Paris, Bogotá

Established in Paris since 2010, mor charpentier represents both emerging and well-established artists whose conceptual practices are anchored in social realities, history and the politics of contrasting geographic regions. By promoting international practices, the gallery aims to broaden the knowledge of crucial debates of the present. A significant inaugural show with Colombian master, Oscar Muñoz, fulfilled a void in the French artistic scene by broadening the spectrum of origins, subjects and identities in the art market. Ever since, a growing number of major international artists have joined the gallery. Coming from different generations and global backgrounds, they all share a commitment to either political, feminist, post-colonial, queer or human rights causes. Amongst them are Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Teresa Margolles, Chen Ching-Yuan, Liliana Porter, Bouchra Khalili, Carlos Motta, Hajra Waheed, and more. Equal gender representation and diversity is also part of the gallery goals, with half of the represented artists being women. In 2021 mor charpentier opened a second exhibition space in Bogotá. This expansion was driven to expand the reach of the gallery program to new publics and encourage artists to explore new territories. It consolidated a long-term bond with the Latin American art scene and the international projection of the gallery. ...
