Conversation with Rayan Yasmineh

Join us on Tuesday, February 25, from 17:30 to 19:00, for a conversation with Rayan Yasmineh on the occasion of his first solo show, Rencontre avec le Zéphyr, currently on view until March 1st in our Parisian space. In dialogue with Hugo Vitrani (curator at Palais de Tokyo) and Horya Makhloud (artistic coordinator and curator of special projects), the artist will discuss his practice, which merges Eastern and Western influences to create narrative paintings that bridge his inherited cultures.

Rayan Yasmineh finds in ancient myths the common ground for many civilizations and a way to connect them. By introducing anachronistic, contemporary, and everyday life references among the profusion of ornamental details of Oriental heritage, or by using oil paint in the manner of the Flemish old masters, he intertwines techniques and representations of supposedly opposite worlds. Yasmineh mixes elements that come from his everyday reality — which anchor the viewer to the factual aspect of the painting — with pictorial accents that address the myth.
