Farah Atassi: Metamorphosis presents eight paintings structured as a sequence of distinct yet connected dreams, taking Ovid's Metamorphoses as its prelude. Forms transform across the canvases — vegetal and human, interior and exterior, day and night coexisting without contradiction. Clouds serve as guides, leading the eye from canvas to canvas and assuming a central rather than background role: resting improbably on tables alongside pears, drifting through walls with disregard for architectural logic. A liberation of brushstroke accompanies this liberation of form, Atassi constructing an uncanny world in which the boundaries between states of being refuse to hold.
