Serge Hamad
Serge Hamad is a visual artist based in New York, with French and Algerian roots. He began his journey in photography at a young age, using both video and photography to cover war zones and shed light on sociopolitical situations in places like Iraq and the Balkans during the mid-1980s.
Having been exposed to both Western and Eastern cultures in his youth, Serge Hamad believes that an artwork is successful when once injected into the communication channels it manages to awake a dialog.
In his Temporal Perception series, he transforms realistic images into abstract forms by blending colors and blurring the lines between photography and digital rendering. When viewed at first glance, the artworks appear to create a cohesive whole. The artist states, "It's only when our brain starts analyzing our vision that we realize how we've lost our childhood." In 2010, Serge Hamad shifted his focus mainly to Fine Art photography. His work has since been exhibited at various galleries in the US and internationally, and has been auctioned at prestigious venues like Artsy, Christie's London, Sotheby's House, and the Robert Wilson's Water Mill Foundation.
