Arab Spring by Ghada Jamal

Solidere exhibits the all new art work by Ghada Jamal titled Arab Spring.

About the Artist:

Ghada Jamal was born in 1955 in Beirut and currently teaches at the American University of Beirut and the Notre Dame University in Beirut, Lebanon. After studying Fine Arts at the Beirut University College (now Lebanese American University), Jamal moved to the United States during the Lebanese civil war to pursue a Masters in painting from California State University, Long Beach.

Ghada Jamal still lives and paints in Lebanon. In her recent artwork, the landscapes are suffused with light and color, subtracted from people, politics, urbanization, and the development and destruction of contemporary life. As prosaic and sublime as that may sound, Jamal’s return has not come easily, nor does it necessarily signify a reconciliation with her country.
