Cedar 3, 2014, by Ayman Baalbaki

The opening was on a very rainy evening, in Tribeca, near the Holland Tunnel. Sadly enough, the artists themselves were not in attendance–possibly creating new art in Beirut.

Ayman Baalbaki attended the same institution of higher learning as I did, the National Institute of Fine Arts (INBA – Institut National des Beaux Arts, Lebanese University); but many years later, and in the fine arts section (I was in architecture). He was born the year the civil war started, so for the first fifteen years of his life war was what he knew, as well as at least some of the other artists: Mohamed-Said Baalbaki, Oussama Baalbaki, Tagreed Darghouth, Omar Fakhoury, and Nadia Safieddine. The aftermath of the war and related issues appear to have informed all the pieces in the exhibition.

The Lebanese flag was prominent in several paintings; it is a very distinctive flag, with the Cedar of Lebanon between two red horizontal bands. It has emotional resonance not only with Lebanese, but also with many in the diaspora. However, as it is depicted in Cedar 3, by Ayman Baalbaki (shown above), it is rather disquieting: the flag wraps a missile, surrounded by flowers. Not being able to speak with the artist, I don’t know what he meant – is it hopeful or pessimistic for the future? Burj el-Murr shows the building that was to be Beirut’s very own skyscraper: its construction started before the Lebanese civil war (1975-1992), and the building was never finished.

Taymour Grahne is the founder of the gallery. His goal is to showcase art, not only from the Middle East, but also from other non-Western regions. James Scarborough interviewed Taymour for the Huffington Post when the gallery opened in August 2013. Taymour blogged about Middle Eastern art for many years, and art is his passion.

Another interview is on the Taymour Grahne website.
