Overview

Blain|Southern is delighted to present asymmetric désir, the first ever solo exhibition by Kosovar artist Sislej Xhafa in the United Kingdom. Bringing together painting, sculpture and installation, Xhafa explores the effects of consumerism, examining the social, economic and political imbalances inherent in all capitalist societies. Using an ironic and subversive black humour that is intrinsic to his practice, the artist works to expose the limitations of material possessions, highlighting the futility of commercial desire when considered within a broader context of metaphysical and existential questions.
