Omar El Lahib Exhibition Catalogue

From January - March of 2023 Saatchi Yates presents a solo exhibition of works by Lebanese artist Omar El Lahib. Bringing together over 18 large-scale paintings, El Lahib’s solo exhibition sets itself in the nocturnal world - where darkness reigns, the mysterious takes shape, and where the unconscious is at liberty to make itself heard. El Lahib was born in Sidon, Lebanon in 1986 and studied Fine Art at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf before moving to Cologne with his wife and children. The catalogue contains an essay by artist critic and writer Larissa Kikol who comments: "El Lahib’s work oscillates between figuration and abstraction. Using lights and colours in a more targeted and subjective way, moods, figures, and sceneries are arranged as if in a dream. Often depicted by El Lahib is the same woman with long hair, captured almost in an exact same pose - slightly crooked, slightly bent forward, arms mostly hanging down.” The catalogue also contains twenty-seven paintings and four works on paper by El Lahib.
