Hassan Sharif solo show

In this solo show of Emirati artist Hassan Sharif at Gallery Isabelle van den Eynde, the artist presents very new works, placed in dialogue with early works created before and after his years studying in London in the 80s.
Hassan Sharif has become best known for handing bundles of cheap, mass-produced objects back to society as art.
Sediments of plastic toys, suspended chandeliers of printouts and newspapers that sprout from papier-mâché soil form the crux of this provocative enquiry into the abundance of print and images that surround us, woven together with Sharif’s distinctive, disruptive irony.
