As one of the most bold and intellectually provocative artists
emerging onto the UK arts scene in 2005, Yara El-Sherbini has
generated equal amounts of praise for her challenging approach,
and criticism for her audacity to express what some viewers have
interpreted as anger towards The West. The truth is, that while her works can provoke laughter (this was the intention with which they were created) they leave a sediment of unease and discomfort for all viewers, admirers and detractors alike. Yara uses different artistic mechanisms (video, photography, text, sculpture etc...) as a means of inviting her audience to take another look at the idiosyncrasies of contemporary society... to have the audacity to think again. ...And so, when the laughter wears off, you are left chomping on a new thought, and what you do is entirely up to you. |
