We were so enraptured by Sari El Khazen’s paintings in the Time Out office that we decided to make the artist and architect this month’s Hot Seat. ‘Shades of Gray: From Bad to Good & Life in between’ mischievously explores the relationship between good and evil – hence the monochrome palate and controversial subject matter. The exhibition will also include a 3D light installation based on Khazen’s Jean-Michel Basquiat-esque compositions. Read the Time Out interview with the artist.
