The Art Circle gallery is hosting an exhibition by artist Annie Kurkdjian called “One Woman Show”.

Born in Beirut in 1972, Annie Kurkdjian received her masters in Management in 1994 before achieving her Fine Arts degree at the Lebanese University. Known for her original and provocative work, her main subject remains the human form whose body parts are manipulated, mutilated, stranded, extended or diminished, tinted of black and grey. Her paintings are provocative but nevertheless playful, tainted with dark humor and depicting the often violent and bizarre side of human psychology.

Her language alternates between expressionism and surrealism and the message she carries is without concession. Tragedy and absurdity are omnipresent, and when faced to her work; we are indebted to think about life’s infirmities and the ironies of our existence. The juxtaposition between the subtle colors she uses and the message she portrays is visually commanding and strikingly creative.
