Sara Chaar (b. 1986) is a Miami-born Lebanese visual artist based in Beirut. Graduating with an Audio-Visual degree in 2008, Chaar began pursuing an artistic practice spanning drawing, painting, and video art. An emerging talent, the artist had her first solo exhibition in Canada at the James Baird Gallery. She has participated in several other solo and collective exhibitions in Lebanon, Copenhagen, Berlin, and Canada. Chaar’s work can be understood as personal palimpsests reflecting on the layered socio-political realities of the Middle East. Her process and chosen media in particular illuminate this. Chaar directly engages her body, employing translucent layers of cold wax and oil paint. These layers, energetically applied and then scratched off with screwdrivers, cutters, and palette knives, create a textured and resonant visual narrative.
