About the Show


Nasr Warour repertoire is formed by abstract creations fused with figurative elements. He uses cubist techniques and his images feature bold, bright colors alternating with dark grey and black shapes. In his latest body of work, ''South Passage'', Nasr's artworks expressed an ''overlooking point of contact between the corpus and the cosmic, the object and the environment, the being and the belonging''.


The experiment's subject was then to search for the relationship between oneself and the space, through the vertical line built as the intersection of the human body with the ground on the feet level. In this new series entitled ''Pollen Overwhelmed'' the artist focuses on the hands as the reference point… This representation of the hands differs by its horizontal equation. In these paintings the focus is held on the empty space or on the limits of the human shapes defined as ''pollen'', resulting from the dialogue between the object and its representation. According to the artist, this ''pollen'' can't be confined and it flees beyond things as a floating perfume. This overwhelming pollen is the human reality laid on the margins of ourselves.
