Omar El Lahib
Interesting exhibition at Saatchi Yates of new work by Lebanese artist, Omar El Lahib. The works were large and colourful but on closer looking they had a dreamlike quality and were reminiscent of Munch. They were effective but I didn’t warm to them. I was interested in his use of sunflowers but there was no explanation of this in the commentary. Echoes of Van Gogh? Circle of life? Closed 10 April 2024
