Nabil Nahas Represents Lebanon at 61st Venice Biennale

The 61st Venice Biennale is currently underway in the historic city of Venice, with the Lebanese Pavilion located in the Arsenale. This year, the pavilion features a solo exhibition of paintings by Lebanese artist Nabil Nahas. Central to his work is the tree, particularly the cedar, olive, and palm, which are depicted alongside abstract and geometric forms, creating a journey between earth and cosmos. The exhibition was highlighted in a report by Muriel Maalouf, who interviewed the artist. The Biennale runs until November 22. The event takes place against a backdrop of geopolitical tensions, as noted in related coverage. Nahas's work is described as a voyage from the nature of Lebanon and its ancient trees to the cosmos. The exhibition is accompanied by a photograph by Milad Ayoub.
