Ink, Metal, Charcoal and Coffee Exhibit by Semaan Khawam

Art Circle gallery cordially invites you to “Ink, Metal, Charcoal and Coffee,” an exhibition by Semaan Khawam.

“Here is the center and the circle also. I stand at an equal distance between the hard element of life and the mellow nature of a dream. Reconciling them together is my attempt on a peculiar synthesis. Call it my art. Call it whatever you will. I wanted metal to spark color and I wanted color to anoint metal with a tender frame. In this space, there is no more war nor martyrs, no cry of urgency and emergency, this is definitely not a place for heroes’ ballads or a trumpeting bravery. Love and hate revolve around each other in a tempting eternity at the brim of which there is inevitable orphan boredom. Same old, same old. Wanting to begin from where all this could end, hence the articles here have no promises but themselves. They are gladly occupying their own humble desired permanence. They are small enough to fit into the hand of a child. They are tenacious enough to hold up a big wall; welcoming you perchance into a gracious place. “ – Semaan Khawam
