ZARAH CASSIM

ZARAH CASSIM, Fluster III

Oil on canvas, 80 x 60 cm

Zarah Cassim is an artist concerned with notions of perception. She uses themediums of painting, photography and sculpture to affect a viewer’s encounter with spatial illusion and reflect the creative filter through which she views the world.

Woven into the theme of unveiling the artifice of reality, is a concern with natural forms and spaces. It is in natural forms that she finds the vehicle for a sense of disorientation: the reflection of a chaotic or absurd world, which marks a breaking point for the human condition. Each work is a personal reflection for Cassim: a sensitive, romantic memory.

ZARAH CASSIM, Jungles

Oil on canvas, 70 x 50 cm

Each work is a personal reflection for Zarah Cassim: a sensitive, romantic memory. Some of her surfaces revel in the flat beauty of the painted mark, inviting the viewer to be seduced by the texture and material of her tool of illusion. Other works evoke a dream-like, ungraspable landscape that threatens to dissolve at any concrete claim over form.
