As a tribute to Huguette Caland’s oeuvre, Nada Zeineh follows Caland’s profoundly arresting compositions to craft her series of boxes and jewels. Zeineh retraces the artist’s works with sensuous outlines and glistening reliefs of bronze and silver, often enameled with opulent whites, emerald greens, and lazuli blues. Floral shapes, lush parts, and dreamy compositions play with Caland’s carnal, visceral, and feminine scenes. From the artist’s delicate lines and faint gradations to her blustering colors, we are invited to zoom in her canvases. Melding the ethereal with the earthly, dreamy garnet stones, tourmaline, and peridot, meet the enthusiasm of waving hands and flirty ceramic busts.

Zeineh transforms her pleasure of viewing Caland’s works into marvelous jewelry boxes and adorning jewels to celebrate the feminist’s transfixing scenes of ambiguous objects, landscapes, and body parts. A journey into her various periods materializes into a comprehensive work as Zeineh finds breathing space, diving into Caland’s world.
