Since the mid-eighties, Serge Hamad has created documentary work that focuses on war crimes and human rights issues. Incorporating both video and photography, Hamad’s wide range of work captures and informs sociopolitical situations in regions such as the Middle East and the Balkans. He feels that "an artwork is successful when it is injected into the communication channels and manages to awake a dialogue".
Hamad’s more abstract photographic series, such asTemporal Perception combine images of landscapes and digital rendering of soft hues and color gradients. Based in New York, Serge Hamad is a French-Algerian artist whose work has been exhibited in galleries throughout the US and abroad. His work has also appeared in auctions including Paddle 8, Artsy, Christie’s London, Sotheby’s and the Water Mill Foundation.
