Agial Art Gallery presents Hala Mouzannar’s exhibition La chasse aux papillons

Hala Mouzannar gives prominence in her work to the materiality, and vicissitudes, of the flesh. She dwells on the material surface of her canvases, creating tears, crusts, and chutes from the manipulation of a mélange of stone powder, silicon, latex, gauze, and oils. The formation of differently textured surfaces, in a range of exuberant and at times corporeal colours, invokes in the viewer visceral bodily sensations of both (interested) pleasure and perturbation.
