On Thursday, September 14, 2000, Zico House unveiled Sabhan Adam’s exhibition, on view until September 16.
Born in Syria in 1972, Sabhan Adam intends to erect a schism with the traditional portraits of the Middle East: playing with the aesthetic and the un-aesthetic, his paintings travel all over the world – notably to Amman, Beirut, Cairo, Damascus, Geneva, Madrid, Dubai, Rome, New York and Paris.
Emerging from monochrome sheets hung against the walls, the creatures exhibited at Zico House by the artist question the relativity of the beautiful and the ugly. Everywhere, sequins dress the deformity of the bodies where the macabre melts into an aesthetic made of red, black and white.
An exhibition organized by Zico House (Beirut).
