Kais Salman: Civilised Society

Ayyam Gallery Beirut is pleased to present Civilised Society, the solo show of Syrian painter Kais Salman. Debuting the artist’s latest body of work, the exhibition will feature paintings that satirically explore the realm of politics in the Arab world through its various archetypes. Deconstructing the historical tradition of portraiture as a demonstration of power or social status, Salman scrutinises the public posturing of political figures—from armchair activists to international delegates.
