L’artista ed ex pugile Omar Hassan che è in mostra a Roma coi suoi gesti forti
Artist and former boxer Omar Hassan has debuted his first solo exhibition in Rome, titled "Tempo al Tempo," at Galleria Latina. The showcase features large-scale works from his "Breaking Through" series, where Hassan uses boxing gloves to strike canvases, alongside a massive map of Rome constructed from nearly 9,000 hand-painted spray can caps. The exhibition emphasizes the physical trace of time and action, blending street art aesthetics with the energy of action painting.
Hassan’s work serves as a bridge between physical athletic performance and contemporary visual art, drawing comparisons to figures like Jackson Pollock and Yves Klein. By utilizing the logic of accumulation and repetitive physical gestures, the artist explores social equality and urban identity. This exhibition highlights Hassan's transition from the ring to the gallery, solidifying his presence in the Italian contemporary art scene through a high-energy, pop-influenced visual language.
