Description
Bassam Kahwagi was born in 1963 and is a Lebanese painter who has been committed to abstract painting since his early years of practice.
His work ranges from a freehand gesture series, which unveils an intuitive expressionist process that creates a personal language apart from the contextual socio-political situation, yet is still deeply connected to reality, to a more meditative stripe-based motif that can be described as conceptual minimalistic painting.
Kahwagi’s work has been featured in several personal and collective exhibitions; his last exhibition, “To Have Been Built,” was in 2020 at Agial Gallery – Beirut.
He is represented in Beirut by Saleh Barakat Gallery, one of the leaders in showcasing for modern and contemporary art in Lebanon. Kahwagi teaches painting and sculpture at the American University of Beirut.
