About Sara Chaar
Reading the works of Sara Chaar is like jumping into a rambling stream of consciousness, created with instinctual marks that transfer her impulses and feelings directly onto the canvas. Her creative process is a cumulative cycle of constructing, deconstructing and reconstructing, echoing the aftermath stories of torn cities, a narrative rooted in the continual loop of demolition and rebirth.
READ FULL BIO HERE
When she undertakes a new work, she accumulates layers of paint and material that she uses as a foundation, which she then scratches through with screwdrivers, cutters and palette knives, instinctively forcing out transformations and translations of her encounters with materials, sounds and matters of life. In her most recent works she uses soft colors like light pink or baby blue in opposition to her aggressive marks or her more abrupt colors like red or black.
