Faisal Samra

Untitled (From the Other Body series)

1999

Faisal Samra's "Untitled" from the Other Body series employs mixed media on raw canvas and wire mesh to explore themes of physicality and materiality through unconventional materials. The artist's use of wire mesh alongside raw canvas creates a tactile, dimensional surface that invites viewers to consider the relationship between the body and its representation. By combining these industrial and organic materials, Samra disrupts traditional painting conventions while questioning how bodies are constructed, perceived, and rendered in contemporary art.
