Each tapestry depicts a different Lebanese god-figures who appeared, or perhaps did not, on that day, reflecting on belief systems that both unite and divide, and on the enduring complexity of faith, memory, and collective identity.
Hassan Idriss started painting at the age of 11, and by 1997, he had his first solo art exhibition. At 18, he moved to London to pursue his dream in fine arts. After graduating from Central Saint Martins and shadowing the greats, including David LaChapelle and Alexander McQueen, Hass decided to devote himself entirely to Fashion. The world then witnessed his first show in London, part of the London Fashion Week in 2009. Currently based in Beirut, Hass leads a creative army where he tailors garments that put the woman forward rather than the garment itself. Combining pieces from vintage old- school techniques all the way to state-of-the-art technology and working only with the finest quality materials, his clients can attest to his prodigy. The works will depict four different Lebanese gods those who appeared, or perhaps did not, on that day reflecting on the religions that both unite us and tear us apart.
