Light & Space Contemporary
53 Fairlane St., West Fairview, Quezon City 1121, 1121 Quezon City, Philippines
Light & Space Contemporary is pleased to present Zones of Displacement, a two-man exhibition of works by Thaer Maarouf and Jason Paul Tecson. The works in this exhibition explore themes of history, politics and landscape in relation to the artists’ origins.
Thaer Maarouf (b.1972 in Shahba, Syria) strategically uses symbolism in his paintings to highlight human rights issues in the Middle East, as well as the conditions of the displaced populations affected by the regional upheaval in the Levant. Maarouf holds a Master’s degree in fine arts from the Lebanese University in Beirut, Lebanon. His work has been featured at several collective exhibits in Lebanon, Syria and France, as well as solo exhibitions in Europe and the Middle East. He is also featured in the permanent collections of Middle Eastern museums.
Jason Tecson (b.1982 in Quezon City, Philippines) creates large-scale sculptures and installations using industrial materials and found objects. His renegade approach to form and surface reflects a struggle with aesthetic precedents and the immediate landscape, resulting in works that seem to shift between monolithic power and looming uncertainty. Tecson has extensively exhibited his work in the Philippines, as well as Singapore, Thailand and Korea.
