Moroccan Skies displays another Uessem classic. A female portrait whose lower half of the face is hidden under a shiny foil. David Uessem reminds us that we all mask ourselves - to protect ourselves from others and maybe even sometimes to protect others from ourselves.
The masks are a main theme in the work of the artist David Uessem. Over the past few years, this theme has gained increasing importance in his work and has taken on quite eccentric traits, with David Uessem distilling out completely independent forms and depicting them in brilliant foil, sparkling gem stones or eclectic mirrored glass.
