Issa Halloum
Beirut From November 26, 2021 to December 23, 2021
Halloum finds his inspiration in nature. He depicts intricately textured landscapes with vivid colours and airy configurations on flat canvases and on sculptures where he plays with the surfaces and textures to create illusions of flatness.
He also emphasizes the concepts of space and depth by bringing into play his special techniques of chromatic expressionism. He paints from direct observation, carefully studying movement and light, engaging with these elements to create visual experiences rooted in the present moment.
His palette is intense and expressive, revealing the significant influence of the great post-impressionist masters. As with Cézanne and Gauguin, he is generous with colors and his brushstrokes are energetic. Both calming and seductive, his paintings have a tangible feel thanks to his simplified forms. Whether he is painting a bright landscape, a busy market scene, an intimate view from a balcony, or an anonymous model, he freezes both the action and the bustle.
Halloum’s paintings are expansive; landscapes and scenes are given room to flourish creating the impression that the images outstretch the margin of the canvas, celebrating the abundance of nature, while carriying an aesthetic incompleteness that suspends the momentum of the compositions.
