Fauze Hassen - These are Television Memories

Fauze Hassen's upcoming solo exhibition invites us into the world of the artist. This collection of new paintings and a short film takes us on a journey - a collection of stills, fragments of time.
The show is an exploration of memories, dreams and culture. Shedding light on how the artist's imagetic universe is used to construct new meanings. Through vibrant paintings infused with sarcasm, flat colour and uncomfortably angled back drops, Hassen's rewoven world, also presented in film, explores the tension that exists in reformed memory.
“The idea of finding and combining these images I have collected in my mind and using them to create new worlds in my paintings is really exciting. From the 1994 Football World Cup through to the most obnoxious infomercials, I seem to remember it all. And the process of repurposing these images, takes me on a timeless journey in which I can't tell if these visuals are my own recollections, dreams or simply television memories. I am excited to share this new body of work with the world.” - Fauze Hassen
