Coup d’œil – Passe et présent I :

The aim of this group show tends to confront different tendances of lebanese painters who chose the abstract art as a mode of picture expression. They are all born in Lebanon, few live in it, and others chose to live abroad.
The comparison between different works is going to help deepen the meaning of each picture, whether it is revealing of an identity, a memory, or whether it is, on the contrary, hermetic and ignores any formal or informal definition, and filtrates only the language of colors.
This is a selection of work signed by young or confirmed artists.
