The artist Marat Hasanov explores the balance of black and white, good and evil, shadow and light, external chaos and internal peace in his first solo photography exhibition in Cyprus, titled "Duality," which will open on October 18 at 18:00 at The Warehouse in Limassol.

According to a statement, in an era of visual communication, Hasanov's exhibition provides an opportunity to reflect on the eternal concept of duality, reminding us of the complex interaction of opposites in our lives.

The statement adds that Hasanov "explores the balance of black and white, good and evil, shadow and light, external chaos and internal peace, as he engages with the viewer and encourages them to contemplate the coexistence and interaction of opposites in our physical and mental world, as well as perceptions of subjective reality."

"His photographs invite and challenge the viewer to think about how different stimuli create various imaginative patterns and interpretations, exploring the delicate balance that defines our very existence," the statement continues.

Additionally, it notes that an interesting aspect of the exhibition is the printing method of the photographs, which are pressed onto glossy aluminum sheets at high temperatures, making each photo and the aluminum sheet a single entity.

It is also pointed out that this printing technique enhances the visual impact of the images, "while Hasanov's minimalist approach adds layers of simplicity and attention to detail, in line with the thematic exploration of duality, merging art and its medium of expression into a printed entity."

Marat Hasanov has held solo exhibitions in Moscow, won photography awards in New Zealand and Japan, and is considered one of the top surfing Instagrammers in the United Arab Emirates. His photographs have been published in Men’s Health magazine in Europe as part of a photographic assignment in Murmansk, Russia.

The exhibition, curated by photographer and photojournalist Stefanos Kouratzis, will remain open with free admission until October 20.
