Hassan Musa is a creator of images with multiple references: European painting, Arabic calligraphy or Chinese watercolor. His paintings and inks on textiles are the hybrid result of a reappropriation of the iconography of several cultural heritages. Aware of the omnipresence of images in our societies and the violence they convey, the artist diverts them in order to exploit their own violence as a means of defense. His critical view of Western art, politics and culture serves a logic of transmission: Musa gives back to the world its own images. The artist immerses you in the history of the world and the arts in order to bring together in his works past and recent elements, each thoughtfully thought out and thoughtfully positioned on the canvas.

Through this exhibition, Hassan Musa awakens our imagination. Go on a journey by visiting this new personal exhibition “I LOVE YOU” at the Maia Muller Gallery.
