“Beyond Texture — Intellectual Materiality in the Work of Alexandre Diop”
Whitewall
December 22, 2022
The works of Alexandre Diop present a multitude of cultural, socio-political, and art-historical references that draw us deeply into the artist’s mind. Considering the musical and literary references, his use of symbolism and metaphor takes us beyond the immediate texture that defines the aesthetics of his work that's created with discarded, damaged, and forgotten materials. His references allude to the deep intellectual space that is an integral layer of his practice and constitutes an essential part of the works’ materiality—conceptually and based on ontological explorations.

“Asif Hoque Taps Into Ancestral Energy”
Whitewall
August 26, 2021
Guided Asif Hoque’s "The American Loverboy" is currently on view at Taymour Grahne Projects in London through September 9. The artist's mythologies are inhabited by gods and creatures that bring narratives and identities to life through creolized sagas that speak of the artist’s own experiences, and simultaneously create an authentic depiction of experiences that resonate with many. His epistemologies merge ontological fragments of Bangladeshi heritage with the cultural context of life in Italy and the USA. As Hoque intuitively taps into an ancestral heritage and energy that accompanies him and instinctively guides him, his artistic practice brings forth conceptually textured multi-dimensional and powerful representations.
