London based artist Said Adrus has been active since the 80's mainly in the United Kingdom and Switzerland, but as well in Italy, Turkey and Uganda. Adrus has drawn upon painting, drawing and printmaking to express himself, blurring the lines between techniques and media. He has done as well numerous exhibitions, performances, on site realisations and artistic collaborations combining installations, movies, music...

 

Throughout his practice and among the talks and research he has done, Adrus has tried to address issues such as displacement, estrangement, racism, a range of social and historical tensions to which he has been personnally confronted since he was a kid. He currently shares his time between London, where his studio is, and Burgdorf near Bern in Switzerland.
