« It’s an ancien game, what a poor game! »

This is the new exhibition of Lebanese artist Hiba Kalache at Saleh Barakea Gallery in Beirut. Ethereal, corporeal and scriptural, the artist's work reveals tensions between the abstract and the concrete. Canvas and paper are marked with vivid colours, which form a constellation of parallel conversations, inspirations and struggles.

Hiba Kalache was born in Beirut and now lives in California. She recently participated in the FOG show with Altman Siegle Gallery in San Francisco. Her solo exhibitions include "Our Dreams are a Second Life" (2020) and "Lemonade Everything Was So Infinite" (2018), at Saleh Barakat Gallery in Beirut. She has participated in numerous group exhibitions around the world.
