Beirut
The work of Hanibal Srouji presented in this exhibition dates back to a crucial period in the history of his country, Lebanon. It was conceived within the quietness and the vacuum that the “end of the civil war” had created. The works reflect a particular temporal state; within which time is contained and prolonged.
They assemble different visions of space, memories, and temporal states of mind. Srouji proposes mixed references between visions of inside and outside. The paintings are knitted with memories of past harmonized spaces and through extended temporalities.
The work explores, in abstract form, the effects of uncertain times. Each artwork is conceived within different color dominances, examining intimacy, traces left by conflict, and colored hopeful fields and surfaces.
Here, the painting is born within thrusts of formal visual decisions and painterly actions standing at the edge of despair, while color gives a hopeful outlook towards what is yet to come. The paintings extend a resistance to literal representation by leaving hints of the artist’s attachments and references. Srouji employs color and marks as an index of time, trying to capture a state of transition, yet, always stretching a vulnerable temporal field, linking past and present. The immediacy of gesture is combined with great care for control, structure and complexity. His paintings remain contemplative, a stance in a state of in between.
