SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY 100 Years of Paul Guiragossian
DESCRIPTION:A landmark retrospective for one of the key modernist painters to emerge from the Levant in the twentieth century. Alongside significant works drawn primarily from the artist’s estate\, many travelling outside Lebanon for the very first time\, the exhibition – the first significant retrospective for Guiragossian since 2013 – includes archival photographs\, personal documents\, and other rarely seen materials that provide an intimate portrait of the artist. \nStructured as a chronological journey\, the exhibition traces Guiragossian’s artistic evolution from his early years in an Armenian family shaped by displacement and migration\, including the 1948 relocation from Jaffa to Lebanon\, through to global recognition. It’s the keystone of From a Shared Ground\, an homage to Lebanon through three concurrent exhibitions that explore how artists across generations have drawn upon experiences of homeland\, displacement\, memory and belonging. \n

SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Roots Before Petals
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition that brings contemporary UAE-based artist Lana Khayat into dialogue with Lebanese modernists Etel Adnan and Helen Khal\, linking distinct practices across generations of Lebanese artists. Says the gallery: “Their work differs in scale and sensibility\, yet each built an abstract visual language from the natural motif and shared engagement with the memory of homeland”. \nThis is one of three concurrent BFAF exhibitions under the title From a Shared Ground\, an homage to Lebanon that explores how artists across generations have drawn upon experiences of homeland\, displacement\, memory and belonging. \n

SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Alfred Basbous: Sculpting the Line
DESCRIPTION:A selection of work by a pioneering figure of modern sculpture in Lebanon\, presented in collaboration with the Alfred Basbous Foundation. \nBasbous worked across stone\, marble\, wood and bronze\, responding closely to the particular qualities of each material rather than imposing a single form upon it. The human figure was central to Basbous’s practice\, over time becoming increasingly simplified and abstracted in his work. Bodies were transformed into rounded volumes\, openings\, curves and flowing silhouettes\, allowing solid material to acquire an unexpected sense of movement and lightness. \nThis is one of three concurrent BFAF exhibitions under the title From a Shared Ground\, an homage to Lebanon that explores how artists across generations have drawn upon experiences of homeland\, displacement\, memory and belonging. \n
