Art on 56th is pleased to announce 

"Beau Négatif", a solo exhibition of works by #Lebanese #artist Mansour El Habre 

Thursday February, 23, 2023 6:00-8:00 p.m.

Born in Lebanon in 1970, Mansour El Habre holds a Diploma in Plastic Arts from the Lebanese University and a Masters in Plastic Arts from the Balamand University. He teaches Painting and Drawing at the Lebanese Academy of Fine Arts (ALBA).

Since 1993, El Habre has participated in individual and group exhibitions in his hometown, Geneva, London, Greece, Cairo, Canada, Paris, Washington, Kuwait, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Qatar.

His work can be found in private and public collections including in the Audi Bank in Beirut, the Solidere Headquarters in Beirut and the Cité Social Fameck, France.

The paintings experiment with the concept of space, stacking layers of abstract, pictorial elements that fuse together to create an illusion of a composition in flux. With spontaneous applications of colour and line, the artist pays tribute to the illustrious aesthetic of the Abstract Expressionists, with the purpose of eliciting emotion via non-representational art.
