Ali Saif: Day for Night

Ali Saif’s paintings are his response to the visual chaos that confronts us in everyday life. He starts with black and white paint and then adds and subtracts colors and shapes. As the surface is worked and reworked many times, the layers build to create an environment filled with visual passageways that lead the viewer through a never-ending series of discoveries – many of them presenting a contradictory sense of time and space that asks the viewer to accept day for night and night for day.
