wagih yassa

Wagih Yassa’s works unfold as acts of gesture rather than depiction, where the body, the brush, and the moment collapse into one expressive movement. In Gesture, painting becomes a record of presence: figures emerge and dissolve through layered strokes, chromatic tensions, and rhythmic interruptions, as if caught mid-motion or mid-memory. Faces and bodies are not rendered as fixed identities, but as fluid accumulations of color and pressure, shaped by instinct as much as intention. Yassa’s surfaces pulse with energy—scraped, built, and reworked, allowing emotion to surface through the physicality of paint itself. Here, gesture is both subject and method: a language of immediacy that resists stillness, inviting the viewer into a space where form is continually negotiated, and meaning remains alive, unresolved, and in motion.
