Agial Art Gallery would like to invite you to the ‘Nudes’ exhibition by Shafic Abboud.

Behind the desire of Shafic Abboud to paint, there has always been some forms of a nude. From an initial sketch, the composition would evolve to convey the artist’s sensibilities. In his intimate notes, Abboud expresses his preoccupation with “not considering the nude as a plastic object.” He was constantly searching for “how a woman can become pictorially fertile and prolific.”

His oeuvre is mostly about the re-inventiveness of his painting rather than the diversity of bodies. His nude figuration, whether evident or abstract, is far from resemblance; it drives him away from the obscene. Abboud has painted the splendor of the nude body with a chastity that was so much his own style.

Please Note: On Saturday, the gallery opens from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
