Description
Born in Beirut in 1972, Hiba Kalache is an interdisciplinary artist working on installation, drawing, painting, sculpture and interactive projects. She studied at the California College of the Arts (CCA) in San Francisco, where, in 2005, she obtained a Master of Fine Arts. In 2014, she produced a monumental intervention for Exposure 6, Under Construction at Beirut Art Center.
Entitled Certain that we, as the seasons, prevail, this painting was created in Beirut in September 2019, right after a summer stay in Varanasi, India. During her time at the Kriti Gallery Residency, Kalache dived into a daily morning ritual of automatic drawings with eyes closed and in silence for at least an hour and a half. These steps for starting her day set the grounds for the paintings that came afterward. On the surface of this composition, the presence of a yellow fluo spray-painted line announces a sudden interruption or urgency. “The choice of colour and decision-making around the empty and less charged areas on the canvas is intentional; I try to create tension and breathing spaces at the same time” says the artist.
Certain that we, as the seasons, prevail is part of a serial body of work that culminated into the solo exhibit Our Dreams are a Second Life in December 2020 at Saleh Barakat Gallery, Beirut.
