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.

At the same time, the new series demonstrates a shift in Salman's painting style as he employs a brilliant palette with a combination of expressionism and realism and introduces vividly described settings.These formal elements draw the viewer into each composition as mundane trappings surround monstrous figures.In The Anonymous Arab(2014), for example, a protagonist is enlivened by painterly brushmarks as he holds a meticulously rendered mask of the international hacktivist group.Outfitted in a tuxedo while lounging on an antique sofa, he is portrayed as a self-assured dandy experiencing a life of privilege. 

Date     : 29 January - 20 March, 2015

Timings: 29 January ( 7PM - 9PM)

Venue  : Beirut Tower, Ground Floor, Zeitoune Street, Across from Beirut
              Marina.

First Look: Agent Provocateur S/S 2015 Collection

For Spring/Summer 2015 Agent Provocateur follows the dangerous trail of the perfectly executed murder. Inspired by David Lynch's The Lost Highway and Brian de Palma's glamorous and murderous thriller Body Double, the collection explores the complex and many-sided woman: coy, duplicitous, siren, saint.

With Ellen Von Unwerth returning behind the lens to bring her signature sizzle to the collection, a perfect crime is played out in deliciously high drama and heart-racing glamour.Naomi Campbell is Agent Provocateur’s mercurial femme fatale for Spring 2015.With a killer instinct and a body to match, she cloaks herself in only the most devastatingly sensual pieces to commit the perfect crime.Armed with the trappings of an accomplished slayer – the shovel, the gloves, the knickers – she is a hit woman from whom no one can escape.

This is the time that the effervescent Ellen Von Unwerth has shot for Agent Provocateur.Her fizzling sensitivity to female erotic power makes her the perfect artist to capture the adrenaline-fuelled chase for our bodacious killer queen Ms. Campbell.

Sarah Shotton's interest in girl gangs and pulp fiction novels of the early 1960's led her on a chase of her own for Spring/Summer 2015: through crimes, punishments and the fascinating women who live for the adrenaline rush, she found the inspiration for her killer collection.

Ayyam Gallery Dubai (DIFC) is pleased to announce LOL, the solo show of influential Syrian artist Khaled Takreti.Highlighting Takreti's latest body of work, the exhibition travels to Dubai after a highly successful debut at Ayyam Gallery's Beirut outpost in September 2014, where a new monograph on the artist was simultaneously launched.

LOL demonstrates Takreti's recent innovations in painting through a methodical process that involves multiple stages of executing his compositions.In each work, the artist begins with appropriated or photographic imagery then creates a stencil that serves as the outline of his subjects as he renders an ‘etching’ on the sparse background of untreated canvas. 

The new, bilingual monograph on the artist will be available at the DIFC installment of the exhibition.Featuring a catalogue of reproductions spanning two decades of Takreti's oeuvre, the publication also includes essays by critic, editor, and novelist Pascal Amel and Ayyam Gallery artistic director and chief writer Maymanah Farhat.

Date     : 14 January - 12 March, 2015
