\""National<\/a> “National Pride” by Christto and Andrew. To collect visit Schlanke Kunst<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

 
\nChristto & Andreas<\/a> are the photography duo using visual imagery to expose the affects that history, politics, the economy and popular culture play\u00a0on contemporary society and its formation.
\nConcentrating their work on the Gulf region, the Qatar-based pair predominantly use photography, but their differing backgrounds also encourage the artists to dabble in other mediums. Sanz\u2019s BA in Fine Art and MA in Visual Communications and Photography, coupled with Weir\u2019s BBA from Universtitat Ramon Llull and MA in Museum & Gallery Practice, all result in brightly staged compositions exuding a rare uncanny humour.
\nThe pair\u2019s work underlines the state of constant development in which they reside, highlighting the various lifestyles that they encounter. Found material is transformed into cement moulds and regular people are used as models in an attempt to portray a symbolic reflection of the elements and structures in Qatar.
\nWe are proud to\u00a0announce Christto and Andrew as Schlanke Kunst<\/a> artists, and look forward to seeing more of their expansive work on social identity.
\nTo collect their fantastic work please visit Schlanke Kunst<\/a>.<\/strong> \n <\/p>\n
