Against The Wall Exhibition at Ayyam Gallery

Ayyam Beirut is pleased to present “Against the Wall”, a solo exhibition of new works by Syrian artist Abdul Karim Majdal Al-Beik.

Majdal Al-Beik’s painterly compositions seek untold stories among the multitude of graffiti, etchings, marks and cracks of the walls of Damascus’s Old City. “Against the Wall” demonstrates the loss of naivety that is the inevitable consequence of war and the passage of time. The violence to which Damascus now bears witness is evidenced in the works on display; no longer passively subdued, Majdal Al-Beik’s muted canvases are emboldened with splashes of bright color and prominent red-soaked areas.

The exhibition will run through the month of December.
