The gallery is delighted to announce representation of Los Angeles based artist, Massoud Hayoun.
A celebrated investigative journalist, writer and painter, Hayoun draws upon his Tunisian, Moroccan and Egyptian heritage to explore notions of belonging, identity and systems of power. For Hayoun, “Politics are personal - and the more people benefit from certain oppressive power structures, the less likely they are to notice…the degree to which all politics are personal.” As such, his vibrant portraits celebrate the full gamut of society: sex workers, convicts and migrant labourers jostle with political and cultural revolutionaries, as well as personalities from the artist’s childhood, including his beloved grandparents.
We look forward to the artist's first exhibition at the gallery, and in the UK, opening on 9th May, 2024.
