Ayyam Gallery Beirut is pleased to announce Afterimage, a solo exhibition by Lebanese artist Ginane Makki Bacho from 11 April – 15 June 2013.
Afterimage presents a highly personal series of paintings which Makki Bacho refers to as her ‘memoirs’. Having trained as a writer before attending art school, narrative is central to her artistic practice. Working from personal photos collaged together to create ‘flashes’ of her past that overlap and merge, the paintings allow the viewer glimpses into Makki Bacho’s history set against a wider narrative of the changing face of Lebanon; the viewer shares in her intimate memories, but also the pain of a country torn apart.
