Ariel Hassan was born in Argentina in 1977 of Spanish-Turkish background. He currently lives and works in Australia and Germany.
Hassan’s work is caught within a realm of existential paradoxes; here, chaos is assimilated as an endless source of information from where to encounter new visual experiences that challenge cognition and rigid principles. Albeit having painting as a main focus, the work expands into a myriad of mediums that feed on philosophy, science and poetry to deliver its own translation.
