Description

You Smell Like Love (2020) fuses linear static elements with the dynamism of blended and blurred fields, creating an interplay between the defined and the unlimited. Mirroring the realities of her native Beirut, Chaar's canvases undergo a continuous cycle of constructing, deconstructing and reconstructing creating layers of depth. Chaar's canvas deliberately maintains an unfinished quality, inviting viewers to actively participate in an ongoing dialogue between the object and beholder.

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.
