London.- The Woolff Gallery is pleased to present a dynamic new series of paintings by artist Oona Hassim. Her solo exhibition will open on the 26th of January and remain on view at the gallery through March 15th 2012. Represented by Woolff Gallery since 2002, Oona Hassim’s works are exhibited worldwide. Her paintings can be found in the London Institute Collection and one of her topical works of the G20 demonstrations, March 2011, was selected for display at the 2011 Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition. Oona Hassim’s unique style of painting is poised between figurative and abstract. Focusing on random crowds and the passage of life that traverses the city of London, her distinctive palette of soft greys juxtapose against colourful crowds and neon lights. The potent emblem of the city is its crowds and her new works explore the explosion of recent activity and unrest on the streets. Poising as the flaneur, the impartial spectator, allows Hassim to observe the vast charge of changing energy within the city.
