Oakville Galleries presents Ali Cherri’s inaugural solo exhibition in Canada, opening Saturday, June 13th at both gallery locations.
Ali Cherri (b. 1976, Beirut) is a Paris-based artist with three decades of artistic practice spanning across film, performance, sculpture, drawing, and installations. Awarded the Silver Lion at the 2022 Venice Biennale, and exhibited in leading museums around the world, Ali Cherri presents films, sculptures and watercolour paintings in both our galleries as well as in Gairloch Gardens.
Highly influenced by the Lebanese postwar art scene, Ali Cherri’s complex body of work interrogates how histories and currencies of political violence resonate through generations as well as physical and cultural landscapes, objects and places.
