Farah Atassi's 'Metamorfosis' at Almine Rech New York

exhibition · 2026-06-29

Almine Rech New York presents 'Metamorfosis', the fifth solo exhibition of Farah Atassi, running until July 2026. The show features eight new paintings that explore transformed forms, deconstructed through a liberated mind and brushstroke. A key work is 'Nocturno', a hybrid vegetal-human figure set in an indeterminate space reminiscent of Francis Bacon. The painting depicts a change gestating as clouds drift indifferently past walls and window frames, with a full moon hanging in a daytime sky. Each composition represents a dream, with clouds guiding the viewer's gaze across canvases. The exhibition takes its preface from Ovid's 'Metamorphoses'.
