Shattered Faces 4 - 21 September 2013
Galerie Janine Rubeiz invites you to the
opening of the exhibition SHATTERED FACES
With artists Ahmed Kleige and Sandra
Issa
Wednesday, September 4 starting 6 p.m.
The exhibition continues until Saturday,
September 21, 2013
The events that are shaking the Arab world are haunting
the imagination of artists. Seen or experienced, these events cause fear,
indignation, disgust, or excitement and lead the artists to express their feelings. It is at the height of this unrest that the
work of two artists, a Syrian and a Lebanese, gather to offer their views on
their region. It is a silent dialogue on the State of the world and the anxiety
it generates. The two artists express in their own way, a reality they have
seen or experienced.
Ahmed Kleige focuses on the people affected by
the conflict; men and women who are unaware of the negotiations and political
issues surrounding these conflicts of which they are victims. They have asked
nothing; they are the forgotten of the conflict, the unnamed faces shown on the
screens. The work of Kleige is a cry against injustice and oppression.
Sandra Issa works on the news by filtering the
media information. She appropriates images conveyed by newspapers and
reinterprets the stories through a personal angle, where the emphasis is given
to the human being and his situation in the world, beyond anecdotal evidence.

That Summer

À la galerie Janine Rubeiz, l’été se conjugue au passé recomposé
Colette KHALAF | 31/07/2013
EXPOSITION Les mois de juillet et août ramènent à la galerie Janine Rubeiz un vent de jeunesse et d’innovation. Les murs de la galerie ainsi que les panneaux sous-jacents mêlent en harmonie le travail des jeunes talents et celui des plus confirmés.

Si le mixed media sur tissu et papier de Sandra Issa annone la couleur, il y a certainement d’autres œuvres qui se démarquent de cet esprit réaliste de guerre omniprésent sur les cimaises de la galerie. En effet, sur un fond rouge sang découpant le ciel bleu, Issa reproduit une sorte de cow-boy enfourchant une mitraillette à pied. Non, il ne s’agit pas d’un film, semble dire That Summer, c’est bien la réalité de la région qui est croquée avec autodérision. De la dérision également mais avec une teinte plus tragique pour l’acrylique de Mohammad Saad. Derrière le corps d’une femme étendue morte sur des falaises rocailleuses grisâtres, surgit un visage de Minnie Mouse. Serait-ce celui de l’enfance ou tout simplement de l’Oncle Sam?
