Marwan Sahmarani, The Bomb, 2014, Oil on Canvas, 300 x 225 cm, Courtesy of the Artist and Kashya Hildebrand Gallery
Founded in 2001, the gallery opened its London space in 2013 after over a decade in Zurich. The gallery’s artists challenge pre-conceived notions of nationality and cultural identity, creating an environment in which established norms become blurred and characterisations from seemingly contrasting cultures occupy the same visual space. This juxtaposition leads to a simultaneous renunciation and acceptance of the traditional and the contemporary, creating an environment that is in constant flux. Religion, politics, nationality and culture are treated as the foundation of identity, depicted and disseminated to varying degrees.
