Serge Hamad

Serge Hamad is a French/Algerian self-taught visual artist based in New York.

The artist started photography at a very young age covering conflict zones and informing about sociopolitical situations like in Iraq, Balkan…

“An artwork is successful when once injected into the communication channels it manages to awake a dialog." Says the artist.

Serge Hamad also makes room in his oeuvre for more light-hearted fare. Turning an expressive realistic image into abstraction, he shifts colors and blurs them into reality between photography and digital rendering in his Temporal Perception series. When seen for the first time at a glimpse, the artworks seem to form an entity. “It's just when our brain starts to analyze our vision that we understand how we lost our childhood." Says the artist.

In 2010, Serge Hamad dedicated his time mainly to Fine Art photography. Since then, his work has been exhibited at several galleries in the US as well as internationally and auctioned at Paddle 8, Artsy, Christie's London, Sotheby's House, and the Robert Wilson's Water Mill Foundation.
