Plastik gallery
A post internet experiential art gallery that showcases neo-contemporary art, curated by the team behind Plastik.
Saint Hoax
Saint Hoax is a pseudonymous artist whose self coined “POPlitical Art”
repurposes political and popular ethos as a commentary on the ephemerality of adulation. The artist’s anonymity allows for uninhibited artistic expression considering the sensitive nature of the work, and further emphasizes the art rather than the artist behind it.
MonuMental
On display through oil paintings, lenticular prints and installations, ‘MonuMental’, Saint Hoax’s third solo show, is an iconographic study of the pathos lurking beneath the immaculate facades of idols.
The exaggerated dimensions of the work are an immediate reflection of the icons’ magnified personas versus the vulnerability of the souls behind them.
Incidentally, MonuMental debuts in Beirut’s most resilient architectural monument dubbed “The Egg”, constructed in the 1960s as a cinema, and destroyed during Lebanon’s civil war, it’s erection, demolition and conservation have been the center of many heated debates in post-war Lebanon, as its mere existence highlights both the vulnerability and resilience of the country’s legacy.
The Egg Building, Mar Mansour Street, Downtown Beirut. Lebanon.
