Ayyam Gallery Beirut is pleased to announce Opacity and Transparency, a solo exhibition of New York- based artist Samia Halaby presenting her latest works.
Following a 2017 solo-exhibition at Ayyam Gallery Dubai, Halaby has since than added additional works to her series Illuminated Space, highlighting the artist’s latest experiments in the interplay of opacity and transparency within Illuminated Space.
The initial works of the series focus on luminosity accomplished through the relationship of colors. The suggestion of radiating light within her worksdeveloped into an exploration of what she describes as ‘the space of light.’ For Halaby, luminosity in her paintings is learnt from seeing ambiances such as the darkness of night, or evening light in a city, and contract of interior and exterior light.
