Sean Mackaoui and Dis Berlin Present 'Night and Day' at Twin Gallery

exhibition · 2026-09-26

The exhibition 'Night and Day' at Twin Gallery, featuring artists Sean Mackaoui and Dis Berlin, runs until October 17. The title symbolizes their distinct color schemes: Mackaoui's white-ground collages contrast with Berlin's night-themed works. Among the highlights is a large digital collage measuring 150 cm in height and 6 meters in width, along with a limited signed edition. Mackaoui, who is of Anglo-Lebanese descent, began his collage journey at eighteen, drawing inspiration from Kurt Schwitters and delving into the hidden narratives of daily life. His recent works emphasize precarious balance and contrast. Conversely, self-taught artist Dis Berlin from Soria has been crafting collages since the 1980s, depicting unsettling nocturnal scenes.
