Hend Samirs eerste museumsolo wereldwijd.
Hend Samir (born in Kuwait to Egyptian parents, 1986) paints with fine brushes and brushes as large as brooms. She almost disappears into her paintings, which undulate loosely across the floor of her studio, becoming one with the fluidity of the paint. With varying speeds and pauses in her brushwork, she brings figures to life from many layers of color: mothers and toddlers, animals, musicians, and lovers. A group of children flies toward us: toward freedom!
Hend Samir lives in Amsterdam. She grew up in Egypt, where the Revolution erupted in Cairo in 2011, coinciding with her quest for feminine and artistic freedom. With infectious passion, she paints both the human struggle and the drama of life. Samir lets the paint shimmer on its own, as if in a sea of stories.
Een Vloedgolf van Levenslust (in het Engels: A Startling Rush) is Samirs eerste museumsolo wereldwijd. Dit overzicht laat vroege schilderingen zien, naast het expansieve volwassen werk, dat in 2021 werd bekroond met de Koninklijke Prijs. Bovendien zijn er gloednieuwe doeken, van intieme scenes tot dynamische vergezichten, vol toekomstmuziek.
