Shimmer of Memory｜Ziad Dalloul Solo Exhibition Introduction

Kwai Fung Hin is delighted to present the first solo exhibition of Franco-Syrian artist Ziad Dalloul in Hong Kong. He uses visual and sensory abundance to probe the boundaries between the natural and metaphysical worlds, using the symbolism of static objects, lived spaces, and the ever-changing natural environment to open up pathways between the visible and the imagined. Embracing his past and present on opposite shores of the Mediterranean Sea, Dalloul’s paintings speak of the symbiosis and metamorphosis between such worlds.
