Based in Los Angeles, Massoud Hayoun paints scenes and portraits inspired by his Egyptian and Tunisian grandparents, as well as current events. He is an award-winning author, and both his literary and artistic work interrogate enduring systems of control, juxtaposed against the healing offered by culture and community. Themes like exile and loss are eternalised in his paintings, which will be shown through London gallery Larkin Durey at the 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair at Halo in New York. Runs from 8-11 May, 2025
